"Earnshaw was not to be civilized with a wish, and my young lady was no philosopher, and no paragon of patience; but both their minds tending to the same point - one loving and desiring to esteem, and the other loving and desiring to be esteemed - they contrived in the end to reach it." -Emily Bronte, from Wuthering Heights

I finally finished a torturous reading of Wuthering Heights recently. Torturous because I didn't know if I could handle any more of the cruel, twisted, jealous actions by Heathcliff, or the strange, selfish and over-wrought actions by Catherine for very much longer. But I'm glad I read it. I especially liked this (above) quote.
