A person who has not done one half his day's work by ten o clock, runs a chance of leaving the other half undone.
Emily BronteYet I was a fool to fancy for a moment that she valued Edgar Linton's attachment more than mine -- If he love 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 monopolized 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 BronteThe clock strikes off the hollow half-hours of all the life that is left to you, one by one.
