I am Scliff

"My greatest grief in this world is that of Heathcliff, ... in my life he is the center of my thoughts. If all else perishes and he remains, I can go on Live; if all else remains and he perishes, the world will be a strange place to me. … My love for Linton is like a leaf in a leaf, and I know it well, … I Love for Heathcliff is like the steadfast rock below: it doesn't really give you much pleasure, but it is necessary. Nelly, I am Scliff! He is forever and ever In my heart, he is not for fun, and it is not necessarily more interesting than I am to myself, but exists as myself... "
Since I love so deeply, why should I choose to despise?
Since I chose to marry someone else, Why choose to be unwilling
? Since you have chosen to be unwilling, why should you choose to give up your own
woman and be harmed by social customs? The weak will eventually become a tragedy.

    Actually thinking about it now, this classic is just one of the themes. However, it is really pleasing. I heard that a female writer, Victoria Holt, also wrote hundreds of novels, all of which are on such themes. Always wanted to see.

Wuthering Heights quotes

  • Cathy: Are you enjoying yourself, Heathcliff?

    Heathcliff: I've had the pleasure of watching you.

    Cathy: You're very grand, Heathcliff. So handsome. Looking at you tonight I could not help but remember how things used to be.

    Heathcliff: They used to be better.

    Cathy: Don't pretend life hasn't improved for you.

    Heathcliff: Life has ended for me.

    [they pause and look off the balcony in silence]

    Heathcliff: How can you stand here beside me and pretend not to remember? Not to know that my heart is breaking for you? That your face is the wonderful light burning in all this darkness?

    Cathy: Heathcliff, no. I forbid it.

    Heathcliff: Do you forbid what your heart is saying to you now?

    Cathy: It's saying nothing.

    Heathcliff: I can hear it louder than the music. Oh, Cathy. Cathy.

    Cathy: I'm not the Cathy that was. Can you understand that? I'm somebody else. I'm another man's wife, and he loves me. And I love him.

    Heathcliff: If he loved you with all the power of his soul for a whole lifetime he couldn't love you as much as I do in a single day. Not he. Not the world. Not even you, Cathy, can come between us.

    Cathy: Heathcliff, you must go away. You must leave this house and never come back to it. I never want to see your face again or listen to your voice again as long as I live.

    Heathcliff: You lie! Why do you think I'm here tonight? Because you willed it. You willed me here across the sea.

  • Cathy: Heathcliff, make the world stop right here. Make everything stop and stand still and never move again. Make the moors never change and you and I never change.

    Heathcliff: The moors and I will never change. Don't you, Cathy.

    Cathy: I can't. I can't. No matter what I ever do or say, Heathcliff, this is me now; standing on this hill with you. This is me forever.
