"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: I should not seem a part of it. My love for Linton is like the foliage in the woods: time will change it, I'm well aware, as winter changes the trees. 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." Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë
"If, however, your feelings have changed, I will have to tell you: you have bewitched me, body and soul, and I love, I love, I love you. I never wish to be parted from you from this day on."

Definitely agree with that last one, Jane Austen does romance the best it has to be said. Cool blog, loving the Atonement header.
hehe, aww thank you :D
After rereading/rewatching pride and prejudice and emma, I'm wondering why people don't WRITE like that anymore!! xx
My favourite Austen romance moment is in Sense and Sensibility - Emma Thompson's reaction when she finds out Hugh Grant loves her - perfectly parodied in an equally romantic fashion in The Vicar of Dibley.
heey kayleigh! haven't heard from you in a while :)
yeah, I LOVE that scene too, but I couldn't find a good quality version of it on youtube. that, hugh laurie and when kate winslet desperately watches willoughby's house in the rain are the highlights of the film for me :D
