Quotation from: Wuthering Heights

Written by: Emily Bronte


'It is not my fault that I cannot eat or rest,' he replied. 'I
assure you it is through no settled designs. I'll do both, as soon
as I possibly can. But you might as well bid a man struggling in
the water rest within arms' length of the shore! I must reach it
first, and then I'll rest. Well, never mind Mr. Green: as to
repenting of my injustices, I've done no injustice, and I repent of
nothing. I'm too happy; and yet I'm not happy enough. My soul's
bliss kills my body, but does not satisfy itself.'
