My love for Linton is like the foliage in the woods. Time will changeit,I'mwellaware, aswinterchangesthetrees. My Love for Heathcliff resembles the eternal rocks beneatha source of little visible delight but necessary. Nelly, I am Heathcliff.
Emily Bronte
Image
Proud people breed sad sorrows for themselves. But if you be afraid of your touchiness, you must ask pardon, mind, when she comes in.
Emily Bronte
Image
I despise him for himself, and hate him for the memories he revives!
Emily Bronte
Image
You're hard to please: so many friends and so few cares, and can't make yourself content.
Emily Bronte
Image
I have to remind myself to breathe -- almost to remind my heart to beat!
Emily Bronte

The entire world is a collection of memoranda that she did exist, and that I have lost her.

The clock strikes off the hollow half-hours of all the life that is left to you, one by one.

Any relic of the dead is precious, if they were valued living.

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.
