Quotable Quotes
So many men, so few who can afford me...(anonymous)
Annotation: Catherine said that she was marrying
Edgar Linton because he had the money to take care of
her. Although she loved Heathcliff, she went with the
man who could afford her. This quote is something she
would say.
A person is grown up not when they can take care of
themselves, but when they can take care of
others...(anonymous)
Annotation: Although Young Cathy was not considered
as grown up as her mother at the same age, she took
care of Linton when he was ill and did some
considerable maturing. After this event took place,
it was almost as if Cathy knew so much more about life
and what went on than the others in the household.
Nothing can bring you peace but yourself. - Ralph
Waldo Emerson
Annotation: If Heathcliff had been able to get advice
from Emerson, he would have ended up in a much better
state than he did. He was so worried about having
Catherine back again...even though she was DEAD...that
he never had peace. His life was never complete
because he never let it be. Because he didn't look
inside himself for healing--never really tried to be
healed--he never found that peace he was looking for.
