For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird,
That cannot fly.”
― Langston Hughes

― Pablo Neruda, 100 Love Sonnets

“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

“The man of knowledge must be able not only to love his enemies but also to hate his friends.”
