Image
Proud people breed sad sorrows for themselves.
Emily Bronte
Image
And from the midst of cheerless gloom I passed to bright unclouded day.
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
A heaven so clear, an earth so calm, So sweet, so soft, so hushed an air And, deepening still the dreamlike charm, Wild moor-sheep feeding everywhere.
Emily Bronte
Image
Are you acquainted with the mood of mind in which, if you were seated alone, and the cat licking its kitten on the rug before you, you would watch the operation so intently that puss's neglect of one ear would put you seriously out of temper?
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
It was not the thorn bending to the honeysuckles, but the honeysuckles embracing the thorn.
Emily Bronte
Image
No coward soul is mine.
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
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
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
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
Alas, for the effects of bad tea and bad temper!
Emily Bronte
Image
I shall smile when wreaths of snow Blossom where the rose should grow.
Emily Bronte
Image
I understand that most ladies tend to prefer lap dogs.... Perhaps I am an exception.
Emily Bronte
Image
They forgot everything the minute they were together again.
Emily Bronte
Image
Any relic of the dead is precious, if they were valued living.
Emily Bronte
Image
No coward soul is mine, No trembler in the world's storm-troubled sphere.
Emily Bronte
Image
You know that I could as soon forget you as my existence!

In secret pleasure — secret tears This changeful life has slipped away
