Não sei como explicar, mas certamente que tu e todos têm a noção de que existe, ou deveria existir, um outro eu para além de nós próprios. Para que serviria eu ter sido criada, se apenas me resumisse a isto? Os meus grandes desgostos neste mundo, foram os desgostos de Heathcliff, e eu acompanhei e senti cada um deles desde o início; é ele que me mantém viva. Se tudo o mais perecesse e ele ficasse, eu continuaria, mesmo assim, a existir; e, se tudo o mais ficasse e ele fosse aniquilado, o universo se tornaria, para mim, uma vastidão desconhecida, a que eu não teria a sensação de pertencer.
Emily BrontëNo wonder the grass grows up between the flags, and cattle are the only hedge- cutters.
Emily BrontëIt's wrong to anticipate evil.

The merest idiot might have guessed I was over head and ears.
Emily BrontëMy great miseries in this world have been Heathcliff's 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 into 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, 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. Nelly, I am Heathcliff [...]

This changeful life has slipped away

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 given
Balm to all my frenzied pain,
Stretched her wings, and soared to heaven,
Went, and ne'er returned again!

Two words would comprehend my future—death and hell: existence, after losing her, would be hell. Yet I was a fool to fancy for a moment that she valued Edgar Linton’s attachment more than mine. If he loved with all the powers of his puny being, he couldn’t love as much in eighty years as I could in a day. And Catherine has a heart as deep as I have: the sea could be as readily contained in that horse-trough as her whole affection be monopolised by him. Tush! He is scarcely a degree dearer to her than her dog, or her horse. It is not in him to be loved like me: how can she love in him what he has not?
Emily BrontëIn all of England, I do not believe that I could have fixed on a situation so completely removed from the stir of society. A perfect misanthropist's Heaven
Emily BrontëI 'never told my love' vocally; still, if looks have language, the merest idiot might have guessed I was over head and ears;
