Todos mis dolores en este mundo han consistido en los dolores que ha sufrido Heathcliff, y los he seguido paso a paso desde que empezaron. El pensar en él llena toda mi vida. Si el mundo desapareciera y él se salvara, yo seguiría viviendo, pero si desapareciera él y lo demás continuara igual, yo no podría vivir.

But, Heathcliff, if I dare you now, will you venture?  If you do, I'll keep you.  I'll not lie there by myself: they may bury me twelve feet deep, and throw the church down over me, but I won't rest till you are with me.  I never will!

If he loved with all the powers of his puny being, he couldn't love as much in eighty years as I could in a day.  And Catherine has a heart as deep as I have: the sea could be as readily contained in that horse-trough as her whole affection be monopolised by him.  Tush!  He is scarcely a degree dearer to her than her dog, or her horse.  It is not in him to be loved like me: how can she love in him what he has not?

The two new friends established themselves in the house during his absence; where I heard Hareton sternly check his cousin, on her offering a revelation of her father-in-law's conduct to his father.

My great miseries in this world have been Heathcliff's miseries, and I watched and felt each from the beginning: my great thought in living is himself.  If all else perished, and he remained, I should still continue to be; and if all else remained, and he were annihilated, the universe would turn to a mighty stranger:
