Emily Bronte
Image
I cannot express it: but surely you and everybody have a notion that there is, or should be, an existence of yours beyond you.
Emily Bronte
Image
Time brought resignation and a melancholy sweeter than common joy.
Emily Bronte
Image
He had the hypocrisy to represent a mourner: and previous to following with Hareton, he lifted the unfortunate child on to the table and muttered, with peculiar gusto, 'Now, my bonny lad, you are mine! And we'll see if one tree won't grow as crooked as another, with the same wind to twist it!
Emily Bronte
Image
The clock strikes off the hollow half-hours of all the life that is left to you, one by one.
Emily Bronte
