Emily Brontë quote #396 from Wuthering Heights

You teach me now how cruel youve been - cruel and false. Why did you despise me Why did you betray your own heart Cathy I have not one word of comfort. You deserve this. You have killed yourself. Yes you may kiss me and cry and wring out my kisses and tears theyll blight you - theyll damn you. You loved me - what right had you to leave me What right - answer me - for the poor fancy you felt for Linton Because misery and degradation and death and nothing that God or Satan could inflict would have parted us you of your own will did it. I have no broken your heart - you have broken it and in breaking it you have broken mine. So much the worse for me that I am strong. Do I want to live What kind of living will it be when you - Oh God would you like to lie with your soul in the grave

Emily Brontë quote #88 from Wuthering Heights

I cannot express it but surely you and everybody have a notion that there is or should be an existence of yours beyond you. What were the use of my creation if I were entirely contained here My great miseries in this world have been Heathcliffs miseries and I watched and felt each from the beginning my great thought in living is himself. 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 I should not seem a part of it. My love for Linton is like the foliage in the woods time will change it Im well aware as winter changes the trees. My love for Heathcliff resembles the eternal rocks beneath a source of little visible delight but necessary. Nelly I am Heathcliff Hes always always in my mind not as a pleasure any more than I am always a pleasure to myself but as my own being.
