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
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
I have fled my country and gone to the heather.
Emily Bronte
Image
And from the midst of cheerless gloom I passed to bright unclouded day.
Emily Bronte
Image
Sweet Love of youth, forgive, if I forget thee, While the world's tide is bearing me along Sterner desires and darker hopes beset me, Hopes which obscure, but cannot do thee wrong.
Emily Bronte
Image
The tyrant grinds down his slaves and they don't turn against him, they crush those beneath them.
Emily Bronte
