Isabella And Heathcliff Quotes

Heathcliff, if I were you, I’d go stretch myself over her grave and die like a faithful dog. The world is surely not worth living in now, is it? You had distinctly impressed on me the idea that Catherine was the whole joy of your life: I can’t imagine how you think of surviving her loss.

You're all of life to me. Let me be a single breath of it for you. -Isabella to Heathcliff, “Wuthering Heights”.

It was a marvelous effort of perspicacity to discover that I did not love her

Why isn't there the smell of heather in your hair? Isabella: Oh Heathcliff, why won't you let me come near you? You're not black and horrible as they all think. You're full of pain. I can make you happy. Let me try. You won't regret it. I'll be your slave. I can bring life back to you, new and fresh. Heathcliff: Why are your eyes always empty? Like Linton's eyes. Isabella: They're not empty, if you'd only look deeper. Look at me. I'm pretty. I'm a woman and I love you. You're all of life to me. Let me be a single breath of it for you. Heathcliff, let your heart look at me just once! Heathcliff: Almighty God, give me life. What is it but hunger and pain?

I was Isabella, fawning on Heathcliff. And no one wants to be Isabella.
