He... was attached by ties stronger than reason could break -- chains, forged by habit, which it would be cruel to attempt to loosen.

More quotes by Emily Bronte
I gave him my heart, and he took and pinched it to death and flung it back to me.
Emily Bronte
It is hard to forgive, and to look at those eyes, and feel those wasted hands,' he answered. 'Kiss me again and don’t let me see your eyes! I forgive what you have done to me. I love my murderer—but yours! How can I?
Emily Bronte
Time brought resignation and a melancholy sweeter than common joy.
Emily Bronte
Though earth and man were gone, And suns and universes ceased to be, And Thou wert left alone, Every existence would exist in Thee.
Emily Bronte
I see heaven's glories shine and faith shines equal.
Emily Bronte
You're hard to please: so many friends and so few cares, and can't make yourself content.
Emily Bronte
Shall Earth no more inspire thee, Thou lonely dreamer now?
Emily Bronte
I wish I were a girl again, half savage and hardy, and free... Why am I so changed? I'm sure I should be myself were I once among the heather on those hills.
Emily Bronte
The winter wind is loud and wild, Come close to me, my darling child Forsake thy books, and mate less play And, while the night is gathering grey, We'll talk its pensive hours away.
Emily Bronte
I'm happiest when most away I can bear my soul from its home of clay On a windy night when the moon is bright And the eye can wander through worlds of light— When I am not and none beside— Nor earth nor sea nor cloudless sky— But only spirit wandering wide Through infinite immensity.
Emily Bronte
If I had caused the cloud, it was my duty to make an effort to dispel it.
Emily Bronte
Look on the grave where thou must sleep Thy last, and strongest foe It is endurance not to weep, If that repose seem woe.
Emily Bronte
It’s no company at all, when people know nothing and say nothing,’ she muttered.
Emily Bronte
I got the sexton, who was digging Linton's grave, to remove the earth off her coffin lid, and I opened it. I thought, once, I would have stayed there, when I saw her face again - it is hers yet - he had hard work to stir me but he said it would change, if the air blew on it.
Emily Bronte
But there's this one difference: one is gold put to the use of paving-stones, and the other is tin polished to ape a service of silver. Mine has nothing valuable about it yet I shall have the merit of making it go as far as such poor stuff can go. His had first-rate qualities, and they are lost, rendered worst than unavailing.
Emily Bronte
Oh, for the time when I shall sleep Without identity.
Emily Bronte
Terror made me cruel.
Emily Bronte
My love for Linton is like the foliage in the woods. Time will changeit,I'mwellaware, aswinterchangesthetrees. My Love for Heathcliff resembles the eternal rocks beneatha source of little visible delight but necessary. Nelly, I am Heathcliff.
Emily Bronte
We must be for ourselves in the long run the mild and generous are only more justly selfish than the domineering.
Emily Bronte
I have to remind myself to breathe -- almost to remind my heart to beat!
Emily Bronte
