“He’s more myself than I am”

“My love for Heathcliff resembles the eternal rocks beneath: a source of little visible delight, but necessary. Nelly, I am Heathcliff! He’s always, always in my mind: not as a pleasure, any more than I am always a pleasure to myself, but as my own being. So don’t talk of our separation again: it is impracticable; . . .”

“He’s worth fighting for, but I won’t change who I am for any man. No more than he should alter himself to suit me.”

“He is more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same. If all else perished and he remained, I should still continue to be, and if all else remained, and we were annihilated, the universe would turn to a mighty stranger. He’s always, always in my mind; not as a pleasure to myself, but as my own being.”

“I certainly will not persuade myself to feel more than I do. I am quite enough in love. I should be sorry to be more”

“He's more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.”
