More quotes by Emily Bronte

Image
Still let my tyrants know, I am not doomed to wear Year after year in gloom, and desolate despair A messenger of Hope comes every night to me, And offers for short life, eternal liberty.
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
No coward soul is mine, No trembler in the world's storm-troubled sphere.
Emily Bronte
Image
I gave him my heart, and he took and pinched it to death and flung it back to me. People feel with their hearts, Ellen, and since he has destroyed mine, I have not power to feel for him.
Emily Bronte
Image
And, even yet, I dare not let it languish, Dare not indulge in memory's rapturous pain Once drinking deep of that divinest anguish, How could I seek the empty world again?
Emily Bronte
Image
I see heaven's glories shine and faith shines equal.
Emily Bronte
Image
He shall never know how I love him: and that, not because he's handsome, Nelly, but because he is more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.
Emily Bronte
Image
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
Image
I have dreamed in my life, dreams that have stayed with me ever after, and changed my ideas they have gone through and through me, like wine through water, and altered the color of my mind.
Emily Bronte
Image
I despise him for himself, and hate him for the memories he revives!
Emily Bronte
Image
I shall smile when wreaths of snow Blossom where the rose should grow.
Emily Bronte
Image
If all else perished, and he remained, I should still continue to be and if all else remained, and he were annihilated, the universe would turn to a mighty stranger.
Emily Bronte
Image
Earnsha was not to be civilized with a wish, and my young lady was no philosopher, and no paragon of patience but both their minds tending to the same point - one loving and desiring to esteem, and the other loving and desiring to be esteemed - they contrived in the end to reach it.
Emily Bronte
Image
He turned, as he spoke, a peculiar look in her direction, a look of hatred unless he has a most perverse set of facial muscles that will not, like those of other people, interpret the language of his soul.
Emily Bronte
Image
I will walk where my own nature would be leading.
Emily Bronte
Image
Terror made me cruel.
Emily Bronte
Image
You know that I could as soon forget you as my existence!
Emily Bronte
Image
It was not the thorn bending to the honeysuckles, but the honeysuckles embracing the thorn.
Emily Bronte
Image
It’s no company at all, when people know nothing and say nothing,’ she muttered.
