Emily Bronte Quotes

"Honest people don't hide their deeds." ~ Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte "My love for Linton is like the foliage in the woods. Time will change it, I'm well aware, as winter changes the trees - my love for Heathcliff resembles the eternal rocks beneath - a source of little visible delight, but necessary." ~ Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte "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." ~ Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte "A person who has not done one half his day's work by ten o'clock, runs a chance of leaving the other half undone." ~ Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte "Proud people breed sad sorrows for themselves." ~ Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte A wild, wick slip she was - but, she had the bonniest eye and sweetest smile, and lightest foot in the parish: and, after all, I believe she meant no harm; for when once she made you cry in good earnest, it seldom happened that she would not keep you company, and oblige you to be quiet that you might comfort her. ~ Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte "I am now quite cured of seeking pleasure in society, be it country or town. A sensible man ought to find sufficient company in himself." ~ Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte Terror made me cruel. ~ Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte Yesterday afternoon set in misty and cold. I had half a mind to spend it by my study fire, instead of wading through heath and mud to Wuthering Heights. ~ Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte
