"Terror made me cruel; [...]"
"'It is strange people should be so greedy, when they are alone in the world!'"
"'Proud people breed sad sorrows for themselves.'"
"'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.'"
"'My 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 to a mighty stranger: [...]'"
"'I wish I were a girl again, half savage and hardy, and free... and laughing at injuries, not maddening under them! Why am I so changed? Why does my blood rush into a hell of tumult at a few words?'"
"'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!'"
"'I have no pity! I have no pity! The more the worms writhe, the more I yearn to crush out their entrails! It is a moral teething; and I grind with greater energy, in proportion to the increase of pain.'"
"'You talk of her mind being unsettled. How the devil could it be otherwise in her frightful isolation?'"
"'I'm wearying to escape into that glorious world, and to be always there: not seeing it dimly through tears, and yearning for it through the walls of an aching heart; but really with it, and in it.'"
"'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! The murdered do haunt their murderers. I believe--I know that ghosts have wandered on earth. Be with me always--take any form--drive me mad! only do not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you! Oh, God! it is unutterable! I cannot live without my life! I cannot live without my soul!'"
"'[...] take my books away, and I should be desperate!''
"'You must learn to avoid putting me in a passion, or I shall really murder you, some time!'"
"'Mr. Heathcliff! master!' I cried. 'Don't for God's sake, stare as if you saw an unearthly vision.'
'Don't, for God's sake, shout so loud,' he replied."
"'My soul's bliss kills my body, but does not satisfy itself.'"
