“A human life is a beautiful thing," he said. "You humans.... you feel. You feel so deeply that it consumes you. There were humans I kept a watch over, though I would blink and they'd be fifty, sixty
years older—and the time would come for me to meet them. For the longest time, I pitied them for their short lives. And I admit, Signa, that I have grown more callous with my age. But I have also grown to admire humans. They've such a short time to experience their lives, and so they must feel deeply. They must experience in one life-time things it's taken me an eternity to experience. When I see men like Elijah, rather than feel guilt for what I've done, I remember that he feels sorrow because he loved so deeply. And were I not real, Little Bird, were I not Death, he would never have experienced that love. So which is better? To live forever, or to live and love?”
― Belladonna

“You know something. Life really is too short. We need to focus on the beautiful things in life, not its miseries. Life’s-end for one person doesn’t define them. It’s the memories that they make while they’re alive.”

“I wanted to dash myself against your rocks like a wave, to obliterate my old self and see what rose shining and new from the sea foam. The only words I had to describe you in those early days were plunging cliffside or primordial sea, crystal-cold stars or black expanse of sky. I dove down deep into your psyche, turning over every word you gave me like a jewel. Looking for meaning, seeking out the mysteries of you. I didn’t care if I lost myself in the process”

“(Κάθυ:) Πόσες φορές δεν αψηφήσαμε μαζί τα φαντάσματα και προκαλέσαμε ο ένας τον άλλον να σταθεί ανάμεσα στα μνήματα και να τα καλέσει να έρθουν. Όμως, Χίθκλιφ, αν σε προκαλούσα τώρα θα τολμούσες να έρθεις πάλι μαζί μου ως εκεί; Τούτη τη φορά, θα σε κρατήσω αν έρθεις. Δεν θα κείτομαι μονάχη μου εκεί πέρα. Μπορούν, αν θέλουν, να με θάψουν βαθιά στα δώδεκα πόδια και να βάλουν ακόμη κι ολόκληρο ρο παρεκκλήσι από πάνω μου. Όμως εγώ δεν πρόκειται να αναπαυτώ στο μνήμα μου, μέχρι να έρθεις να με βρεις. Ποτέ – ακούς; - ποτέ.”

“(Χίθκλιφ:) Ω, Κάθυ, είπες δεν σε νοιάζει αν υποφέρω. Κι εγώ ένα μόνο πράγμα εύχομαι και μία προσευχή κάνω, που θα την λέω και θα την ξαναλέω μέχρι η γλώσσα μου να πετρώσει. Κάθριν Ένσο είθε να μην βρεις ανάπαυση, όσο εγώ είμαι ακόμα ζωντανός. Είπες ότι εγώ σε σκότωσα. Στοίχειωσε με, λοιπόν… Μείνε μαζί μου παντοτινά, πάρε όποια μορφή θέλεις, τρέλανε με. Μόνο μη με αφήνεις σε αυτή την άβυσσο, όπου μάταια ψάχνω να σε βρω. Ω, Θεέ μου. Είναι ανείπωτο, δεν μπορώ να ζήσω χωρίς τη ζωή μου, δεν μπορώ να ζήσω χωρίς τη ψυχή μου.”

“(Χίθκλιφ:) Την μέρα που την έθαψαν έπεσε χιόνι. Το βράδυ πήγα στο κοιμητήρι. Φυσούσε παγερός, χειμωνιάτικος ο άνεμος κι όλα γύρω ήταν βυθισμένα στη σιγή… Έτσι όπως ήμουν ολομόναχος κι έχοντας επίγνωση πως δύο γιάρδες νιόσκαφτο χώμα ήταν το μόνο εμπόδιο που μας χώριζε, είπα μέσα μου: Θα την κρατήσω ξανά στην αγκαλιά μου. Κι αν είναι παγωμένη, θα πω πως φταίει ο βοριάς. Κι αν είναι ακίνητη, θα πω πως κοιμάται.”
