Catherine Earnshaw, may you not rest as long as I am living.... - Emily Brontë, Wuthering Heights

"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 the 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!"

"I wish I were a girl again, half-savage and hardy, and free."
"Existence, after losing her, would be hell"
"Treachery and violence are spears pointed at both ends; they wound those who resort to them worse than their enemies."
"You know that I could as soon forget you as my existence!"
