quote
“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 my 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 if 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.”

“Afternoon,” the new god of his life said. He was taller than Samuel, already a rarity. He was also extraordinarily, impossibly beautiful.”

“Fighting for his attention. He had never imagined he could be so lucky as to have anyone—never mind them—compete for his attention.”

― Boyfriend on Parole
“Shut up! And don’t look at me like that! Like I’m just having some kind of tantrum. I love you! Can you get that through your head? You’re not my friend. You’re not my brother. I’m in love with you, so fuck off.”

“Imaginary evil is romantic and varied; real evil is gloomy, monotonous, barren, boring. Imaginary good is boring; real good is always new, marvelous, intoxicating.”
