 "Wuthering Heights" an equally loved and hated classics of all time. It follows the story of Heathcliff and his undying love and passion for Catherine. Heathcliff was adopted by Catherine's father, Mr. Earnshaw, as a child. Upon Earnshaw's death, he is bullied by Catherine's brother. He soon leaves his home assuming that his love for Catherine is one sided (which is not) only to come back later and revenge his suffering. While many may dislike Heathcliff for all the evils he has committed against the people around him, there's something about the torment he's suffering from, which is not having the only person who has ever shown any kindness to him, to himself. 

 "You said I killed you - haunt me, then!
Be with me always - take any form - drive me mad! only do not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you."

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

"I wish I were a girl again, half-savage and hardy, and free."

 "I have dreamt in my life, dreams that have stayed with me ever after, and changed my ideas; they have gone through and through me, like wine through water, and altered the color of my mind."

"I hate him for himself, but despise him for the memories he revives."

 "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."
