“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 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 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! He's always,
always in my mind: not as a pleasure, any more than I am always a pleasure to myself, but as my own
being.”

“I have dreamt in my life, dreams that have stayed with me ever after, and changed my ideas; they

“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?”

“May she wake in torment!" he cried, with frightful vehemence, stamping his foot, and groaning in a
sudden paroxysm of ungovernable passion. "Why, she's a liar to the end! Where is she? Not there—
not in heaven—not perished—where? Oh! you said you cared nothing for my sufferings! And I pray
one prayer—I repeat it till my tongue stiffens—May she wake in torment!" he cried, with frightful
