"I've been way too scared to interrogate the history of slavery and Muslims, truthfully. So much emphasis is placed upon prophetic companions like Bilal (who was a black man and a freed slave) and a lot of dancing around the topic because confronting the past makes us deeply uncomfortable.

“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.”
