I didn't want him to become gray and multi-dimensional and complicated like everyone else. Was every Heathcliff a Linton in disguise? ~ Margaret Atwood
Linton quotes by Margaret Atwood
Then you believe I care more for my own feelings than yours, Cathy?" he said. "No, it was not because I disliked Mr. Healthcliff, but because Mr. Healthcliff dislikes me and is a most diabolical man, delighting to wrong and ruin those he hates, if they give him the slightest opportunity. I knew that you could not keep up an acquaintance with your cousin without being brought into contact with him; and I knew he would detest you, on my account; so for your own good, and nothing else, I took precautions that you should not see Linton again. ~ Emily Bronte
Linton quotes by Emily Bronte
I'm a child of the '60s, I came of age then. I went to a couple of demonstrations, and then in the late '60s when the Vietnam anti-war movement grew as the Vietnam War was heating up, I became very involved in that. ~ Simi Linton
Linton quotes by Simi Linton
Many politicians used their positions for the benefit of themselves and their friends rather than the patriotic ~ Barry Linton
Linton quotes by Barry Linton
◦"Does that ass of yours repel bullets now?" I asked, eyeballing the blonde nurse.- Laneyism ~ Jodi Linton
Linton quotes by Jodi Linton
Drugs flow as effortlessly through the harbour as through los esteros, but the government and the DEA view drug trafficking as more of a hazard to society when it moves through the poor area, with its dirty waters and seeming chaos, than when it has to do with corporate boardrooms and the main harbour. And for the FARC, it is becoming easier and easier to convince the city's Afro-Colombian majority that the focus of the war on drugs is not primarily on the flow of drugs, but on what kind of people are involved in it. ~ Magnus Linton
Linton quotes by Magnus Linton
That the language of the poetry of Jamaican music is rastafarian or biblical language cannot simply be put down to the colonizer and his satanic missionaries. The fact is that the historical experience of the black Jamaican is an experience of the most acute human suffering, desolation and despair in the cruel world that is the colonial world ... ~ Linton Kwesi Johnson
Linton quotes by Linton Kwesi Johnson
For a while parents seemed to forget that their responsibility as parents did not cease when the child turned on the radio; rather it increases. In the August, 1938, issue of Your Life, Mary Linton has this to say to the parent who is blaming everyone but himself for his child's actions:
It isn't up to the teachers in the schools, nor the Federal Radio Commissioners, nor anyone else on earth. It's up to us - it's our job! Our job to teach them right from wrong, honesty from dishonesty, a clean and intelligent attitude toward sex, a healthful fastidiousness about their own bodies. We can teach these things because we have the daily opportunity of knowing our children and their reactions. ~ Judith C. Waller
Linton quotes by Judith C. Waller
Critasism is just a way of saying i'm jelous of your talents ~ Rayvon L. Browne
Linton quotes by Rayvon L. Browne
The guest was now the master of Wuthering Heights: he held firm possession, and proved to the attorney, who, in his turn, proved it to Mr. Linton, that Earnshaw had mortaged every yard of land he owned for cash to supply his mania for gaming; and he, Heathcliff, was the mortgagee.
In that manner, Hareton, who should now be the first gentleman in the neighbourhood, was reduced to a state of complete dependence on his father's inveterate enemy; and lives in his own house as a servant deprived of the advantage of wages, and quite unable to right himself, because of his friendlessness, and his ignorance that he has been wronged. ~ Emily Bronte
Linton quotes by Emily Bronte
People are complicated, and they hurt each other. Effie Linton had known this for a long time, just as she knew that sometimes those wounds were inflicted deliberately, over and over, and not with fists or weapons. Sometimes, they did it with love. ~ Megan Hart
Linton quotes by Megan Hart
It seems to be a general rule that sciences begin their development with the unusual. They have to develop considerable sophistication before they interest themselves in the commonplace. ~ Ralph Linton
Linton quotes by Ralph Linton
Cathy, this lamb of yours threatens like a bull!' he said. 'It is in danger of splitting its skull against my knuckles. By God! Mr. Linton, I'm mortally sorry that you are not worth knocking down! ~ Emily Bronte
Linton quotes by Emily Bronte
We fit the stereotype that Tim Brooks described as "antisocial" at least insofar as having no desire to waste our time and effort contributing to the morass of social networking's "pointless babble" - as researchers at Pear Analytics aptly described the largest category of Twitter messages. Dear Netflix executives, you are probably equally "antisocial" in this regard. ~ Blake Linton
Linton quotes by Blake Linton
I hold it to be the moral duty of women to make themselves beautiful in all lawful ways. ~ Eliza Lynn Linton
Linton quotes by Eliza Lynn Linton
The idea of a specifically Robespierrist terror was a myth, invented by the Termidoreans, the men who overthrew Robespierre, who themselves were very much implicated in the recourse to terror. ~ Marisa Linton
Linton quotes by Marisa Linton
Prayer is an inner journey, the ultimate destination of self-discovery rather than a desired destination. ~ Marjorie Daun Timberlake-Linton
Linton quotes by Marjorie Daun Timberlake-Linton
At the end of the day, life's about realising one's human potential. I don't know if I've realised mine, but I've certainly gone a long way towards realising some goals and some dreams. ~ Linton Kwesi Johnson
Linton quotes by Linton Kwesi Johnson
There is no more delightful hour in life than that of an unconfessed but mutual love. ~ Eliza Lynn Linton
Linton quotes by Eliza Lynn Linton
In front of me stands a willow tree by a river, its long green tendrils trailing into the chuckling water. A man sits beneath the tree, back propped against the trunk, gently strumming a lute as he looks out over the water. He feels familiar to me, as if I must know him. As if it would be impossible not to know him.
I do not approach. I simply listen to the water and the lute, the sound settling deeply into my bones and heart. ~ Suzanna J. Linton
Linton quotes by Suzanna J. Linton
Oh-ho, so you are a witch. More like a witchling, as you're too small to be a full witch." (Emmerich) ~ Suzanna J. Linton
Linton quotes by Suzanna J. Linton
The flames of the fire leapt up and surrounded her, consuming her, becoming her. Heat filled and flushed her, breaking the bottle and she soared up and up. She came to stand in a sun's center. But that even faded and she rode pillion with Emmerich as he crossed the field on his black battle charger, her hands gripping his sides. The edges of his chain-mail bit into her skin and she could hear his labored breath. She could smell his particular scent: horse and leather, sweat and musk. Men roared like the ocean and rushed like waves to slam against the opposing force meeting them outside the walls. ~ Suzanna J. Linton
Linton quotes by Suzanna J. Linton
Yet I was a fool to fancy for a moment that she valued Edgar Linton's attachment more than mine
If he love 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 monopolized 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? ~ Emily Bronte
Linton quotes by Emily Bronte
Belbroughton Road, Linton Road, Bardwell Road. The houses there are quite normal. They are ordinary sizes and have ordinary chimneys and roofs and gardens with laburnum and flowering cherry. Park Town. As you go south they are growing. Getting higher and odder. By the time you get to Norham Gardens they have tottered over the edge into madness: these are not houses but flights of fancy. They are three storeys high and disguise themselves as churches. They have ecclesiastical porches instead of front doors and round norman windows or pointed gothic ones, neatly grouped in threes with flaring brick to set them off. They reek of hymns and the Empire, Mafeking and the Khyber Pass, Mr Gladstone and Our Dear Queen. They have nineteen rooms and half a dozen chimneys and iron fire-escapes. A bomb couldn't blow them up and the privet in their gardens has survived two World Wars. ~ Penelope Lively
Linton quotes by Penelope Lively
far noh mattah wat dey say,
come wat may,
we are here to stay
inna Inglan,
inna disya time yah... ~ Linton Kwesi Johnson
Linton quotes by Linton Kwesi Johnson
Somebody'd better pray for him, don't you think? He IS a lost soul.
~Pastor John Linton ~ Janet Sketchley
Linton quotes by Janet Sketchley
I'm not going to act the lady among you, for fear I should starve . ~ Emily Bronte
Linton quotes by Emily Bronte
Bad floor! Bad! Just because drunk people always end up drooling on you, that's no reason to be vindictive. How could you want to hurt those cute little piggies? Can't you see how well they dance?'

'Mr Linton, I think I'd better get you upstairs to your room.'

'No! I need to have a serious talk with this floor.'

'There's plenty of floor upstairs, Mr Linton.'

Really? Damn! This was a conspiracy. ~ Robert Thier
Linton quotes by Robert Thier
Heathcliff, if I were you, I'd go stretch myself over her grave and die like a faithful dog. The world is surely not worth living in now, is it? You had distinctly impressed on me the idea that Catherine was the whole joy of your life: I can't imagine how you think of surviving her loss. ~ Charlotte Bronte
Linton quotes by Charlotte Bronte
I have never quite understood the relationship between beauty and weakness, womanly sweetness and womanly silliness; to my mind, indeed, that woman being the most beautiful who is the most capable, while weakness and silliness can never by any chance be other than unlovely. ~ Eliza Lynn Linton
Linton quotes by Eliza Lynn Linton
Is she sane?' asked Mrs. Linton, appealing to me. 'I'll repeat our conversation, word for word, Isabella; and you point out any charm it could have had for you. ~ Emily Bronte
Linton quotes by Emily Bronte
Progress had not invaded, science had not enlightened, the little hamlet of Pieuvrot, in Brittany. They were a simple, ignorant, superstitious set who lived there, and the luxuries of civilization were known to them as little as its learning. They toiled hard all the week on the ungrateful soil that yielded them but a bare subsistence in return; they went regularly to mass in the little rock-set chapel on Sundays and saint's days; believed implicitly all that monsieur le cure said to them, and many things which he did not say; and they took all the unknown, not as magnificent but as diabolical ~ Eliza Lynn Linton
Linton quotes by Eliza Lynn Linton
The tremendous and still accelerating development of science and technology has not been accompanied by an equal development in social, economic and political patterns ... it is safe to predict that ... such social inventions as modern-type capitalism, facism and communism will be regarded as primitive experiments directed towards the adjustment of modern society to modern methods ~ Ralph Linton
Linton quotes by Ralph Linton
The intense horror of nightmare came over me: I tried to draw back my arm, but the hand clung to it, and a most melancholy voice sobbed, 'Let me in - let me in!' 'Who are you?' I asked, struggling, meanwhile, to disengage myself. 'Catherine Linton,' it replied, shiveringly (why did I think of LINTON? I had read EARNSHAW twenty times for Linton) - 'I'm come home: I'd lost my way on the moor!' As it spoke, I discerned, obscurely, a child's face looking through the window. ~ Emily Bronte
Linton quotes by Emily Bronte
The motel owner, who walked up when the police car came screaming in with lights flashing, takes me into the office. He sits me down with a mug of coffee. The mug is blue and reads in white lettering, Warning: Murderous Until Caffeinated. ~ Suzanna J. Linton
Linton quotes by Suzanna J. Linton
But I begin to fancy you don't like me. How strange! I thought, though everybody hated and despised each other, they could not avoid loving me. (Catherine Linton, nee Earnshaw) ~ Emily Bronte
Linton quotes by Emily Bronte
Samantha turns toward us as we enter and her mouth drops open. "You." Pure joy floods her face like sunlight falling through storm clouds, and she runs up to me, laying hands on either side of my face as she gazes deeply into my eyes. "There you are. ~ Suzanna J. Linton
Linton quotes by Suzanna J. Linton
Why can't I have my own life?! ~ Suzanna J. Linton
Linton quotes by Suzanna J. Linton
For electronica music, David Linton has been doing this series called Unity Gain, which is pretty cool. ~ Jim Coleman
Linton quotes by Jim Coleman
I was hitchhiking to Washington to an anti-war demonstration in 1971, and I was in an accident, and that's how I became disabled; that's how I came into disability, in a sense. ~ Simi Linton
Linton quotes by Simi Linton
Once you have a disease like cancer, you look at life a bit differently. Some things that were important no longer seem as important as they were. ~ Linton Kwesi Johnson
Linton quotes by Linton Kwesi Johnson
The story is complicated and contradictory. Sometimes this proclaimed 'war on drugs' has followed shifts in military threats; at times it is coloured by religious paranoia; often it is rooted in genuine fear of widespread social misery. But mostly, and sometimes quite unintentionally, it is the result of political strategies that have very little to do with its expressed goal of fighting drugs. ~ Magnus Linton
Linton quotes by Magnus Linton
Poverty is a bitter weed to most women, and there are few indeed who can accept it with dignity. ~ Eliza Lynn Linton
Linton quotes by Eliza Lynn Linton
Yes,' said Catherine, stroking his long soft hair, 'if I could only get papa's consent, I'd spend half my time with you - Pretty Linton! I wish you were my brother.'
'And then you would like me as well as your father?' observed he more cheerfully. 'But papa says you would love me better than him, and all the world, if you were my wife-so I'd rather you were that!'
'No! I should never love anybody better than papa,' she returned gravely. 'And people hate their wives, sometimes; but not their sisters and brothers, and if you were the latter, you would live with us, and papa would be as fond of you, as he is of me. ~ Emily Bronte
Linton quotes by Emily Bronte
I was only going to say that heaven did not seem to be my home; and I broke my heart with weeping to come back to earth; and the angels were so angry that they flung my out into the middle of the heath on the top of Wuthering Heights; where I woke sobbing for joy. That will do to explain my secret, as well as the other. I've no more business to marry Edgar Linton than I have to be in heaven; and if the wicked man in there had not brought Heathcliff so low, I shouldn't have thought of it. It would degrade me to marry Heathcliff now; so he shall never know how I love him: and that, not because he's handsome, but because he's more myself than I am. What ever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same; and Linton's is as different as a moonbeam from lightning, or frost from fire.'
Ere this speech ended, I became sensible of Heathcliff's presence. Having noticed a slight movement, I turned my head, and saw him rise from the bench, and steal out noiselessly. He had listened till he heard Catherine say it would degrade her to marry him, and then he stayed to hear no further. ~ Emily Bronte
Linton quotes by Emily Bronte
We fight not for glory nor for wealth nor honours; but only and alone we fight for freedom, which no good man surrenders but with his life. ~ Bernard De Linton
Linton quotes by Bernard De Linton
Writing was a political act and poetry was a cultural weapon. ~ Linton Kwesi Johnson
Linton quotes by Linton Kwesi Johnson
You teach me now how cruel you've been - cruel and false. Why did you despise me? Why did you betray your own heart, Cathy? I have not one word of comfort. You deserve this. You have killed yourself. Yes, you may kiss me, and cry; and wring out my kisses and tears: they'll blight you - they'll damn you. You loved me - what right had you to leave me? What right - answer me - for the poor fancy you felt for Linton? Because misery, and degradation, and death, and nothing that God or Satan could inflict would have parted us, you, of your own will did it. I have no broken your heart - you have broken it; and in breaking it, you have broken mine. So much the worse for me that I am strong. Do I want to live? What kind of living will it be when you - Oh, God! would you like to lie with your soul in the grave? ~ Emily Bronte
Linton quotes by Emily Bronte
I've no more business to marry Edgar Linton than I have to be in heaven and if the wicked man in there had not brought Heathcliff so low I shouldn't have thought of it. It would degrade me to marry Heathcliff now so he shall never know how I love him and that not because he's handsome Nelly but because he's more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of his and mine are the same and Linton's is as different as a moonbeam from lightning or frost from fire. ~ Emily Bronte
Linton quotes by Emily Bronte
Few women have both taste and truth; and indeed, this special bit or moral mosaic is just the most difficult piece of carpentry in the whole of the human workshop. ~ Eliza Lynn Linton
Linton quotes by Eliza Lynn Linton
But that luxury had just imploded faster than a two dollar hooker takes to her knees." -Laneyism ~ Jodi Linton
Linton quotes by Jodi Linton
The modern stuff, I can take it or leave it. I like its danceability, but the DJs talk a lot of nonsense. ~ Linton Kwesi Johnson
Linton quotes by Linton Kwesi Johnson
I'd pieced my heart back together and salvaged what little dignity I had left by jumping back in the saddle with a man safer than a Katherine Heigl chick flick. Unfortunately for me, old wounds can be a bitch the same way straying cowboys can be heartbreakers." -Laneyism ~ Jodi Linton
Linton quotes by Jodi Linton
Ah! you are come, are you, Edgar Linton?' she said, with angry animation. 'You are one of those things that are ever found when least wanted, and when you are wanted, never! I suppose we shall have plenty of lamentations now - I see we shall - but they can't keep me from my narrow home out yonder: my resting-place, where I'm bound before spring is over! There it is: not among the Lintons, mind, under the chapel-roof, but in the open air, with a head-stone; and you may please yourself whether you go to them or come to me! ~ Emily Bronte
Linton quotes by Emily Bronte
Taxicabs might seem like a luxury item, and given the profound needs of so many disabled people in New York, why would we bother with taxis? I contend that even if you need a taxi once a year - there are times when you need a taxi. ~ Simi Linton
Linton quotes by Simi Linton
The Jacobin leaders were beset on many sides by enemies, both open and covert. But in the end the most dangerous and unforgiving enemies they faced were themselves. In choosing terror, they chose a path that led to self-destruction. ~ Marisa Linton
Linton quotes by Marisa Linton
You are worth it! You may be a stubborn, chauvinistic, cold-hearted, ruthless, self-righteous son of a bachelor-"

"Don't flatter me too much, Miss Linton."

"-but you're a good man. Well, to me, anyway. Sometimes. Mostly."

"Are you quite sure that you are in love with me?"

"Yes!"

"Just checking. ~ Robert Thier
Linton quotes by Robert Thier
I don't go to see bands any more because I've got tinnitus, so I have to avoid loud music. You get used to it, but when it's quiet you hear a constant ringing. ~ Linton Kwesi Johnson
Linton quotes by Linton Kwesi Johnson
The extra padding in my bra wasn't doing much to hide my bullet-like nipples." -Laneyism ~ Jodi Linton
Linton quotes by Jodi Linton
Throughout 150 years of the science of bacteriology, there is no evidence that one species of bacteria has changed into another ... Since there is no evidence for species changes between the simplest forms of unicellular life, it is not surprising that there is no evidence for evolution from prokaryotic [i.e., bacterial] to eukaryotic [i.e., plant and animal] cells, let alone throughout the whole array of higher multicellular organisms. ~ Alan H. Linton
