~ * Book Quotes * ~

Do you have personal favorite quote from any specific book? An unforgettable quote? I bet you have! So I thought, why not store all the lovely quotes here. Hence, the topic. I'm sorry if this topic is already present, 'cause I tried searching for the topic and didn't find any.

Good post...Will come with my reply!

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 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 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 ' so, don't talk of our separation again ' it is impracticable....Catherine Earnshaw

Catherine Earnshaw, may you not rest as long as I am living! You said I killed you ' haunt me, then! The murdered do haunt their murderers. I believe ' I know that ghosts have wandered on earth. Be with me always ' take any form ' drive me mad! Only do not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you! Oh, God! it is unutterable! I cannot live without my life! I cannot live without my soul!...Heathcliff

This Quote is from Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights... Love it !!!

Got scared reading Wuthering Heights when I was a child...Heathclifffs evil nature put me off...Years later I read it again ...still didn't enjoy it

You wouldn't really find that quote funny until u read the book 🤣🤣

This isnt my fav quote but something I went back to while I was reading the book...

"What is past is past. never go back. Not for excuses. Not for justification, not for happiness. You are what you are, the world is what it is."

-- The Last Don,Mario Puzo

" It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way — in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only."

-- A Tale of two Cities, Charles Dickens
