1. "The tyrant grinds down his slaves and they don't turn against him, they crush those beneath them." ~ Emily Bronte

2. "Trebao sam se tada znijiti krvlju, toliko je bio ocajan bol moje žudnje... tolika strastvenost mojih molbi da je vidim barem na tren! Ali je nisam vidio." ~ Emily Brontë

3. "tu e todo o mundo têm noção de que há ou deverá haver uma existência para além de nós. Qual seria o sentido de eu ter sido criada, se estivesse contida apenas em mim mesma? Os grandes desgostos que tive foram os desgostos de Heathcliff, e eu senti cada um deles desde o início: o que me faz viver é ele. Se tudo o mais acabasse, e ele permanecesse, eu continuaria a existir; e, se tudo o mais permanecesse e ele fosse aniquilado, o universo transformar-se-ia um imenso desconhecido. O meu amor por Linton é como a folhagem das florestas. O tempo transformá-lo-á, tenho a certeza, da mesma forma que o Inverno transforma o arvoredo. O meu amor por Heathcliff lembra as rochas eternas: proporciona uma alegria pouco visível, mas é necessário. Nelly, eu sou Heathcliff!"" ~ Emily Brontë

4. "Mr. Heathcliff, you're a cruel man, but you're not a fiend; and you won't, from mere malice, destroy, irrevocably, all my happiness." ~ Emily Brontë

5. "for the space of half a year, the gunpowder lay as harmless as sand, because no fire came near to explode it." ~ Emily Brontë

6. "You loved me-then 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 not broken your heart- you have broken it; and in breaking it, you have broken mine."~Heathcliff" ~ Emily Brontë

7. "You teach me now how cruel you've 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: they'll blight you - they'll 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

8. "I am seldom otherwise than happy while watching in the chamber of death... . I see a repose that neither earth nor hell can break, and I feel an assurance of the endless and shadowless hereafter--the Eternity they have entered--where life is boundless in its duration, and love in its sympathy, and joy in its fulness." ~ Emily Brontë

9. "and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth." ~ Emily Brontë

11. "But no brutality disgusted her: I suppose she has an innate admiration for it, if only her precious person were secure from injury!" ~ Emily Brontë

12. "mesmo que eu o derrubasse vinte vezes, isso não o tornaria menos bonito, nem a mim menos feio. (...) - Um bom coração ajuda a ter um belo rosto, meu rapaz, mesmo que a pessoa seja monstruosa. Sabias que um coração empedernido é capaz de tornar a pessoa mais bonita num verdadeiro monstro." ~ Emily Brontë

13. "Mostraste-me agora o quão cruel tens sido. Cruel e falsa! Por que me desprezaste, Cathy? Por que traíste o teu próprio coração? Não tenho sequer uma palavra de conforto para dar. Tu mereces tudo aquilo por que estás passando. Mataste a ti própria. Sim, podes beijar-me e chorar o quanto quiseres. Arrancar-me beijos e lágrimas. Mas eles vão te queimar e serás amaldiçoada. Se me amavas, por que me deixaste? Com que direito? Responde-me! Por causa da mera inclinação que sentias pelo Linton? Pois não foi a miséria, nem a degradação, nem a morte, nem algo que Deus ou Satanás pudessem enviar, que nos separou. Foste tu, de livre vontade, que o fizeste. Não fui eu que despedacei teu coração, foste tu própria. E, ao despedaçares o teu, despedaçaste o meu também." ~ Emily Brontë

14. "Their eyes are precisely similar, and they are those of Catherine Earnshaw." ~ Emily Brontë

15. "I have dreamt in my life, dreams that have stayed with me ever after, and changed my ideas; they have gone through and through me, like wine through water, and altered the color of my mind. And this is one: I'm going to tell it - but take care not to smile at any part of it." ~ Emily Brontë

16. "No coward soul is mine,No trembler in the world's storm-troubled sphere:I see heaven's glories shine,And faith shines equal, arming me from fear" ~ Emily Brontë

18. "And from the midst of cheerless gloomI passed to bright unclouded day." ~ Emily Brontë

20. "When I asked her what was the matter? answered, she didn't know; but she felt so afraid of dying!" ~ Emily Brontë

21. "Mr. Heathcliff and his man climbed the cellar stairs with vexatious phlegm." ~ Emily Brontë

22. "And I pray one prayer--I repeat it till my tongue stiffens--Catherine Earnshaw, may you not rest as long as I am living! You said I killed you--haunt me, then!...Be with me always--take any form--drive me mad! only do not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you!" ~ Emily Brontë

23. "She burned too bright for this world." ~ Emily Brontë

24. "Hope Was but a timid friend;She sat without the grated den,Watching how my fate would tend,Even as selfish-hearted men.She was cruel in her fear;Through the bars one dreary day,I looked out to see her there,And she turned her face away!Like a false guard, false watch keeping,Still, in strife, she whispered peace;She would sing while I was weeping;If I listened, she would cease.False she was, and unrelenting;When my last joys strewed the ground,Even Sorrow saw, repenting,Those sad relics scattered round;Hope, whose whisper would have givenBalm to all my frenzied pain,Stretched her wings, and soared to heaven,Went, and ne'er returned again!" ~ Emily Brontë

25. "But I begin to fancy you don't like me. How strange! I thought, though everybody hated and despised each other, they could not avoid loving me. (Catherine Linton, nee Earnshaw)" ~ Emily Brontë

26. "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 Brontë

27. "However , it's over, and I'll take no revenge on his folly – I can afford to suffer anything, hereafter! Should the meanest thing alive slap me on the cheek, I'd not only turn the other, but I'd ask pardon for provoking it – and, as proof, I'll go make my peace with Edgar instantly – Good night – I'm an angel!" ~ Emily Brontë

28. "I ran to the children's room: their door was ajar, I saw they had never laid down, though it was past midnight; but they were calmer, and did not need me to console them. The little souls were comforting each other with better thoughts than I could have hit on: no parson in the world ever pictured heaven so beautifully as they did, in their innocent talk; and, while I sobbed, and listened. I could not help wishing we were all there safe together." ~ Emily Brontë

29. "It's a rough journey, and a sad heart to travel it; and we must pass by Gimmerton Kirk, to go that journey! We've braved its ghosts often together, and dared each other to stand among the graves and ask them to come. But Heathcliff, if I dare you now, will you venture? If you do, I'll keep you. I'll not lie there by myself; they may bury me twelve feet deep, and throw the church down over me, but I won't rest till you are with me. I never will!"She paused, and resumed with a strange smile, "He's considering-he'd rather I'd come to him! Find a way, then! not through that Kirkyard. You are slow! Be content, you always followed me!" ~ Emily Brontë

30. "No, God won't have the satisfaction that I shall." ~ Emily Brontë

31. "Ce n'est pas plus mon affaire d'épouser Edgar Linton que d'être au ciel; et si l'individu pervers qui est ici n'avait pas ainsi dégradé Heathcliff, je n'y aurais jamais songé. Ce serait me dégrader moi-même, maintenant, que d'épouser Heathcliff. Aussi ne saura-t-il jamais comme je l'aime; et cela, non parce qu'il est beau, Nelly, mais parce qu'il est plus moi-même que je ne le suis. De quoi que soient faites nos âmes, la sienne et la mienne sont pareilles et celle de Linton est aussi différente des nôtres qu'un rayon de lune d'un éclair ou que la gelée du feu." ~ Emily Brontë

32. "Yo creo que hay fantasmas que vagan por el mundo, lo sé. Quédate siempre conmigo, bajo la forma que quieras, ¡vuélveme loco! Pero lo único que no puedes hacer es dejarme solo en este abismo donde no soy capaz de encontrarte." ~ Emily Brontë

33. "¡Oh, Dios mío, es inconcebible! ¡No puedo vivir sin mi vida! ¡No puedo vivir si mi alma!" ~ Emily Brontë

34. "and you love Edgar, and Edgar loves you. All seems smooth and easy: where is the obstacle?""Here! and here!" replied Catherine, striking one hand on her forehead, and another on her breast: "in whichever place the soul lives. In my soul and in my heart, I'm convinced I'm wrong!" ~ Emily Brontë

35. "It's a pity he cannot kill himself with drink." ~ Emily Brontë

36. "Sea cual fuere la sustancia de la que están hechas las almas, la suya y la mía son idénticas" ~ Emily Brontë

37. "I never say to him, 'Let this or that enemy alone, because it would be ungenerous or cruel to harm them'; I say, 'Let them alone, because I should hate them to be wronged': and he'd crush you like a sparrow's egg, Isabella , if he found you a troublesome charge." ~ Emily Brontë

38. "Today I will not seek the shadowy region;Its unsustaining vastness waxes drear;And visions rising, legion after legion,Bring the unreal world too strangely near." ~ Emily Brontë

39. "Now all is dashed wrong; by the fool's craving to hear evil of self, that haunts some people like a demon!" ~ Emily Brontë

40. "misanthropist" ~ Emily Brontë

41. "Se acercó y le alargó la mano. Hareton se puso sombrío como una nube de tormenta, apretó los puños y miró al suelo. Pero ella comprendió que aquello no era odio, sino testarudez, y, después de un instante de indecisión, se inclinó hacia él y le besó en la mejilla. Enseguida, se volvió a la ventana." ~ Emily Brontë

42. "No se de que estaran hechas las almas; pero la suya y la mia son iguales" ~ Emily Brontë

43. "I certainly esteem myself a steady, reasonable kind of body ... not exactly from living among the hills, and seeing one set of faces, and one series of actions, from year's end to year's end: but I have undergone sharp discipline which has taught me wisdom; and then, I have read more than you would fancy." ~ Emily Brontë

44. "...we have each had a commencement, and each stumbled and tottered on the threshold, and had our teachers scorned, instead of aiding us, we should stumble and totter yet." ~ Emily Brontë

45. "Mrs. Heathcliff is my daughter-in-law,' said Heathcliff, corroborating my surmise. He turned, as he spoke, a peculiar look in her direction: a look of hatred;" ~ Emily Brontë

46. "I obeyed, so far as to quit the chamber; when, ignorant where the narrow lobbies led, I stood still, and was witness, involuntarily, to a piece of superstition on the part of my landlord which belied, oddly, his apparent sense. He got on to the bed, and wrenched open the lattice, bursting, as he pulled at it, into an uncontrollable passion of tears. 'Come in! come in!' he sobbed. 'Cathy, do come. Oh, do - ONCE more! Oh! my heart's darling! hear me THIS time, Catherine, at last!' The spectre showed a spectre's ordinary caprice: it gave no sign of being; but the snow and wind whirled wildly through, even reaching my station, and blowing out the light." ~ Emily Brontë

47. "She bounded before me, and returned to my side, and was off again like a young greyhound; and, at first, I found plenty of entertaiment in listening to the larks singing far and near; and enjoying the sweet, warm sunshine; and watching her, my pet, and my delight, with her golden ringlets flying loose behind, and her bright cheek, as soft and pure in its bloom, as a wild rose, and her eyes radiant with cloudless pleasure. She was a happy creautre, and an angel in those those days. It is a pity she could not stay content." ~ Emily Brontë

48. "I 'never told my love' vocally; still, if looks have language, the merest idiot might have guessed I was over head and ears;" ~ Emily Brontë

49. "Si es cierto que yo te maté, persígueme. Se asegura que la víctima persigue a su asesino. Hazlo, pues, sigueme, hasta que me enloquezcas. Pero no me dejes solo en este abismo. ¡no puedo vivir sin mi vida! ¡no puedo vivir sin mi alma!" ~ Emily Brontë

50. "Sesini son duydugumdan beri hayatim zor mücadelelerle geçti. Beni affet, çünkü bu mücadeleleri sirf senin için yaptim." ~ Emily Brontë
