"I cannot express it: but surely you and everybody have a notion that there is, or should be, an existence of yours beyond you." - Emily Brontë
"I have dreamed in my life, dreams that have stayed with me ever after, and changed my ideas; they have gone through and through me, like wine through water, and altered the color of my mind." - Emily Brontë
"Having leveled my palace, don't erect a hovel and complacently admire your own charity in giving me that for a home." - Emily Brontë
"I'll walk where my own nature would be leading: It vexes me to choose another guide." - Emily Brontë
