"I am Heathcliff - he's always in my mind"

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

"I am not cruel, only truthful – the truth being often harsh."

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

"I've dreamt in my life dreams that have stayed with me ever after, and changed my ideas; they've gone through and through me, like wine through water, and altered the colour of my mind."

"He's more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of, we're the same."

"I cannot express it; but surely you and everybody have a conscience?"

"The entire world is a dreadful collection of memoranda that she did exist, and that I have lost her!"

"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."

"One cannot forget such encounters; they leave an impression."

"I am Heathcliff! He's always, always in my mind."

"Be with me always – take any form – drive me mad! only do not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you!"

"Treachery and violence are spears pointed at both ends."

"I see now you think me a selfish wretch; but, did it never occur to you that I might plead for you as hard as you plead for yourself?"

"He's more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of, we're the same – but separate."

"My great miseries in this world have been Heathcliff's miseries."

"Whatever I do, Heathcliff will be glad to have me back. He says so."

"I cannot look down upon your position now; I see it clearly."

"Nelly, you are not being kind to me; you're being cruel."

"If I could but hold you and say the half of what's in my heart!"

"I'm wearying to escape into that glorious world, and to be always there."

"Surely it is no sin to love him."

"How strange! I thought, though everybody hated and despised each other, they might have borne with me; but I find now they will not even do that."

"You teach me now how cruel you've been – cruel and false. Why did you despise me?"

"I cannot begin my life again."

"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 wonder he won't try to cheat the devil out of my soul!"

"Whatever I do will be honourable and innocent."

"I see you think me cruel. Am I?"
