“Any relic of the dead is precious, if they were valued living.”

It is hard to forgive, and to look at those eyes, and feel those wasted hands,’ he answered. ‘Kiss me again; and don’t let me see your eyes! I forgive what you have done to me. I love my murderer—but yours! How can I?

That is how I’m loved! Well, never mind. That is not my Heathcliff. I shall love mine yet; and take him with me: he’s in my soul.

A sensible man ought to find sufficient company in himself.

Cold in the earth and the deeps now piled above thee, Far, far, removed, cold in the dreary grave! Have I forgot, my only Love, to love thee, Severed at last byTime’s all-serving wave?

The night is darkening round me, The wild winds coldly blow; But a tyrant spell has bound me, And I cannot, cannot go.

Wondered how anyone could ever imagine unquiet slumbers, for the sleepers in that quiet earth.

The constant assertion of belief is an indication of fear.

Where it is permissible both to die and not to die, it is an abuse of valour to die.

I did not get an opportunity to die for the country, but I have got an opportunity to live for the country.

In peace sons bury fathers, but war violates the order of nature, and fathers bury sons.

When my time comes, forget the wrong that I’ve done. Help me leave behind some reasons to be missed.

Life is a movie; death is a photograph.

You are willing to die, you coward, but not to live.
