Oh, for the time when I shall sleep Without identity.
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 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
How strange! I thought, though everybody hated and despised each other, they could not avoid loving me.
Emily Bronte
Image
You must forgive me, for I struggled only for you.
Emily Bronte
Image
I understand that most ladies tend to prefer lap dogs.... Perhaps I am an exception.
Emily Bronte
Image
Any relic of the dead is precious, if they were valued living.
Emily Bronte
Image
The old church tower and garden wall Are black with autumn rain And dreary winds foreboding call The darkness down again
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
What kind of living will it be when you - Oh, God! Would you like to live with your soul in the grave?
Emily Bronte

Emily Bronte

Joseph is the wearisomest and self-righteous Pharisee who ever ransacked the Bible to rake the promises to himself and fling the curses on his neighbor.
Emily Bronte
Image
The entire world is a collection of memoranda that she did exist, and that I have lost her.
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
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
I got the sexton, who was digging Linton's grave, to remove the earth off her coffin lid, and I opened it. I thought, once, I would have stayed there, when I saw her face again - it is hers yet - he had hard work to stir me but he said it would change, if the air blew on it.
Emily Bronte
Image
If all else perished, and he remained, I should still continue to be and if all else remained, and he were annihilated, the universe would turn to a mighty stranger.
Emily Bronte
Image
Alas, for the effects of bad tea and bad temper!
Emily Bronte
Image
I have to remind myself to breathe -- almost to remind my heart to beat!
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.
