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.

Proud people breed sad sorrows for themselves.

I'll walk where my own nature would be leading: It vexes me to choose another guide.

Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.

Having leveled my palace, don't erect a hovel and complacently admire your own charity in giving me that for a home.

Love is like the wild rose-briar Friendship like the holly-tree. The holly is dark when the rose-briar blooms, but which will bloom most constantly?

I see heaven's glories shine and faith shines equal.

I have dreamed 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.
