“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 Healthcliff! 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.”
― Emily Brontë, Wuthering Heights

“A certain light was beginning to dawn dimly within her,—the light which, showing the way, forbids it.”
― Kate Chopin, The Awakening

“I was the breakable one. Women always are. It's not so much a question of one big disappointment, though. It's more like a thousand little disappointments raining down on top of each other. After a while it gets to seem like a flood, and the first thing you know you're drowning.”
― Carol Shields

“... a book is not made of sentences laid end to end, but of sentences built, if an image helps, into arcades or domes.”
― Virginia Woolf, A Room of One’s Own
