I despise him for himself, and hate him for the memories he revives!
Emily Bronte
Image
I will walk where my own nature would be leading.
Emily Bronte
Image
He... was attached by ties stronger than reason could break -- chains, forged by habit, which it would be cruel to attempt to loosen.
Emily Bronte
Image
They forgot everything the minute they were together again.
Emily Bronte

You must forgive me, for I struggled only for you.
Emily Bronte
Image
No coward soul is mine, No trembler in the world's storm-troubled sphere.
Emily Bronte
Image
The tyrant grinds down his slaves and they don't turn against him, they crush those beneath them.

It was not the thorn bending to the honeysuckles, but the honeysuckles embracing the thorn.
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'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
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
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
Image
Time brought resignation and a melancholy sweeter than common joy.
Emily Bronte
Image
Last night, I was on the threshold of hell. To-day, I am within sight of my heaven. I have my eyes on it: hardly three feet to sever me!
Emily Bronte
Image
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
Image
You have left me so long to struggle against death, alone, that I feel and see only death! I feel like death!
Emily Bronte
Image
How strange! I thought, though everybody hated and despised each other, they could not avoid loving me.
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
Terror made me cruel.
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.
