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
It was not the thorn bending to the honeysuckles, but the honeysuckles embracing the thorn.
Emily Bronte
Image
Honest people don't hide their deeds.
Emily Bronte
Image
I wish I were a girl again, half savage and hardy, and free... Why am I so changed? I'm sure I should be myself were I once among the heather on those hills.
Emily Bronte
Image
Be with me always - take any form - drive me mad! only do not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you! Oh, God! it is unutterable! I can not live without my life! I can not live without my soul!
Emily Bronte
Image
Any relic of the dead is precious, if they were valued living.
Emily Bronte

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
In secret pleasure — secret tears This changeful life has slipped away
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
Proud people breed sad sorrows for themselves.
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
If he loved with all the powers of his puny being, he couldn't love as much in eighty years as I could in a day.
Emily Bronte
Image
Nonsense, do you imagine he has thought as much of you as you have of him?
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
You know that I could as soon forget you as my existence!
Emily Bronte
Image
I take so little interest in my daily life, that I hardly remember to eat and drink.
Emily Bronte
Image
If I had caused the cloud, it was my duty to make an effort to dispel it.
Emily Bronte
Image
Hereafter she is only my sister in name not because I disown her, but because she has disowned me.
Emily Bronte
Image
By this curious turn of disposition I have gained the reputation of deliberate heartlessness how undeserved, I alone can appreciate.
