From the poets (public domain)
Emily Bronte, in Wuthering Heights, wrote the line people quote without knowing its source: Catherine's declaration that whatever souls are made of, hers and Heathcliff's are the same. It's the original twin flame sentiment, a century before the term existed.
Walt Whitman, in Leaves of Grass, kept returning to the pull between two souls who recognize each other instantly, the meeting that feels like remembering. Rumi, the most quoted and most misquoted, did write genuinely about lovers as mirrors and about the longing of separation as the engine of reunion, though most "Rumi twin flame quotes" online are inventions.
