Emily Bronte quote graphic by Books on the Wall

This quote comes from Bronte’s only published novel, Wuthering Heights. Catherine Earnshaw speaks these words to Nelly, her caretaker, about her never-to-be-fulfilled love for Heathcliff. Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff remain among the most celebrated and infamous couples in all of Western literature.

“Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.”
