How strange! I thought, though everybody hated and despised each other, they could not avoid loving me.

My love for Linton is like the foliage in the woods. Time will changeit,I'mwellaware, aswinterchangesthetrees. My Love for Heathcliff resembles the eternal rocks beneatha source of little visible delight but necessary. Nelly, I am Heathcliff.

Terror made me cruel.

May you not rest, as long as I am living. You said I killed you - haunt me, then.

But you might as well bid a man struggling in the water, rest within arm's length of the shore! I must reach it first, and then I'll rest.

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'll be as dirty as I please, and I like to be dirty, and I will be dirty!
