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
You have been compelled to cultivate your reflective faculties, for want of occasions for frittering your life away in silly trifles.

Image
I see heaven's glories shine and faith shines equal.
Emily Bronte
Image
Earnsha was not to be civilized with a wish, and my young lady was no philosopher, and no paragon of patience but both their minds tending to the same point - one loving and desiring to esteem, and the other loving and desiring to be esteemed - they contrived in the end to reach it.

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

I have fled my country and gone to the heather.
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
And, even yet, I dare not let it languish, Dare not indulge in memory's rapturous pain Once drinking deep of that divinest anguish, How could I seek the empty world again?
Emily Bronte
Image
A good heart will help you to a bonny face, my lad and a bad one will turn the bonniest into something worse than ugly.
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
Shall Earth no more inspire thee, Thou lonely dreamer now?
Emily Bronte
Image
I'm happiest when most away I can bear my soul from its home of clay On a windy night when the moon is bright And the eye can wander through worlds of light— When I am not and none beside— Nor earth nor sea nor cloudless sky— But only spirit wandering wide Through infinite immensity.
Emily Bronte
Image
Nonsense, do you imagine he has thought as much of you as you have of him?
Emily Bronte
Image
How strange! I thought, though everybody hated and despised each other, they could not avoid loving me.
Emily Bronte
