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 165 quotes

He had been content with dail...

He had been content with daily labour and rough animal enjoyments, 'till Catherine crossed his path. Shame at her scorn, and hope of her approval, were his first prompts to higher pursuits; and, instead of guarding him from one and winning him to the other, his endeavors to raise himself had produced just the contrary result.

Emily Bronte 165 quotes

Cathy, this lamb of yours threatens like a bull!' he said. 'It is in danger of splitting its skull against my knuckles. By God! Mr. Linton, I'm mortally sorry that you are not worth knocking down!

Emily Bronte 165 quotes

The intense horror of nightma...

The intense horror of nightmare came over me: I tried to draw back my arm, but the hand clung to it, and a most melancholy voice sobbed, 'Let me in - let me in!' 'Who are you?' I asked, struggling, meanwhile, to disengage myself. 'Catherine Linton,' it replied, shiveringly (why did I think of LINTON? I had read EARNSHAW twenty times for Linton) - 'I'm come home: I'd lost my way on the moor!' As it spoke, I discerned, obscurely, a child's face looking through the window.

Emily Bronte 165 quotes

The night is darkening round ...

The night is darkening round me, The wild winds coldly blow; But a tyrant spell has bound me, And I cannot, cannot go.

Emily Bronte 165 quotes

Still let my tyrants know, I ...

Still let my tyrants know, I am not doomed to wear Year after year in gloom, and desolate despair; A messenger of Hope comes every night to me, And offers for short life, eternal liberty.

Emily Bronte 165 quotes

I have lost the faculty of enjoying their destruction, and I am too idle to destroy for nothing.

Emily Bronte 165 quotes

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

Emily Bronte 165 quotes

I got the sexton, who was dig...

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.

A sensible man ought to find sufficient company in himself.

Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same; and Linton's is as different as a moonbeam from lightning, or frost from fire

Emily Bronte 165 quotes

I've no more business to marr...

I've no more business to marry Edgar Linton than I have to be in heaven and if the wicked man in there had not brought Heathcliff so low I shouldn't have thought of it. It would degrade me to marry Heathcliff now so he shall never know how I love him and that not because he's handsome Nelly but because he's more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of his and mine are the same and Linton's is as different as a moonbeam from lightning or frost from fire.

Emily Bronte 165 quotes

I cannot live without my life...

I cannot live without my life! I cannot live without my soul!

Emily Bronte 165 quotes

I gave him my heart, and he t...

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 165 quotes

Hereafter she is only my sist...

Hereafter she is only my sister in name; not because I disown her, but because she has disowned me.

Emily Bronte 165 quotes

Earnsha was not to be civiliz...

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 165 quotes

He shall never know how I lov...

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 165 quotes

Alas, for the effects of bad ...

Alas, for the effects of bad tea and bad temper!

Emily Bronte 165 quotes

Nelly, I am Heathcliff! He's ...

Nelly, I am Heathcliff! He's always, always in my mind: not as a pleasure, any more than I am always a pleasure to myself, but as my own being.

Emily Bronte 165 quotes

I understand that most ladies ...

I understand that most ladies tend to prefer lap dogs.... Perhaps I am an exception.
