It was not the thorn bending to the honeysuckles, but the honeysuckles embracing the thorn.
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

Emily Bronte
Image
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
Image
Nonsense, do you imagine he has thought as much of you as you have of him?
Emily Bronte
Image
Alas, for the effects of bad tea and bad temper!
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 understand that most ladies tend to prefer lap dogs.... Perhaps I am an exception.
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
Hereafter she is only my sister in name not because I disown her, but because she has disowned me.

If I had caused the cloud, it was my duty to make an effort to dispel it.
