Status Updates From Agnes Grey

Estoy escuchándolo en audiolibro y me esta gustando

I feel like I just went to Bible study

Everything else, anything that doesn't include the second generation, I don't give a fuck about

Ralph Fiennes version was forgettable

Tom Hardy's version is too 🧀 for me. Cathy II is really weak.

I just rewatched the '98 version of Wuthering Heights, and honestly, I think it's my favorite. I know that might not be a super popular opinion, but since the second generation is my absolute favorite part of the story, that alone rules out most of the other adaptations for me because they just don't include it.

I really like Cathy II and Hareton in this one and they're my favorites. That's the number one reason.

“…But, if we keep in mind the glorious heaven beyond, where both may meet again, and sin and sorrow are unknown, surely that too may be borne; and, meantime, we endeavour to live to the glory of Him who has scattered so many blessings in our path.”

“We have had trials, and we know that we must have them again; but we bear them well together, and endeavour to fortify ourselves and each other against the final separation—that greatest of all afflictions to the survivor.…”

“The best way to enjoy ourselves is to do what is right and hate nobody. The end of religion is to teach one not to die but how to live.”

“It is foolish to wish for beauty. Sensible people never either desire it for themselves or care about it in others. If the mind be but well cultivated, and the heart well disposed, no one ever cares for the exterior.”

“…to minister to his happiness”

“Alas! how far the promise of anticipation exceeds the pleasure of possession!”

“Every blow that shakes it will serve to harden it against a future stroke; as constant labour thickens the skin of the hand, and strengthens its muscles instead of wasting them away: so that a day of arduous toil, that might excoriate a lady’s palm, would make no sensible impression on that of a hardy ploughman.”

“The human heart is like india-rubber; a little swells it, but a great deal will not burst it. If “little more than nothing will disturb it, little less than all things will suffice” to break it. As in the outer members of our frame, there is a vital power inherent in itself that strengthens it against external violence.“
