More quotes by Emily Bronte
Terror made me cruel.
Emily Bronte
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
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
Heaven did not seem to be my home and I broke my heart with weeping to come back to earth and the angels were so angry that they flung me out into the middle of the heath on the top of Wuthering Heights where I woke sobbing for joy.
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
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
There is not room for Death, Nor atom that his might could render void: Thou - Thou art Being and Breath, And what Thou art may never be destroyed.
Emily Bronte
No coward soul is mine, No trembler in the world's storm-troubled sphere.
Emily Bronte
It was not the thorn bending to the honeysuckles, but the honeysuckles embracing the thorn.
Emily Bronte
Joseph is the wearisomest and self-righteous Pharisee who ever ransacked the Bible to rake the promises to himself and fling the curses on his neighbor.
Emily Bronte
I take so little interest in my daily life, that I hardly remember to eat and drink.
Emily Bronte
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
But you might as well bid a man struggling in the water, rest within arm's length of the shore! I must reach it first, and then I'll rest.
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
You're hard to please: so many friends and so few cares, and can't make yourself content.
Emily Bronte
It’s no company at all, when people know nothing and say nothing,’ she muttered.
Emily Bronte
If I were in heaven, Nelly, I should be extremely miserable. Because you are not fit to go there, I answered. All sinners would be miserable in heaven.
Emily Bronte
And from the midst of cheerless gloom I passed to bright unclouded day.
Emily Bronte
The entire world is a collection of memoranda that she did exist, and that I have lost her.
Emily Bronte
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
