Top rated lines from this movie

Ah, so he's lost some of his pride, has he? Well, there's none gone in this house.

The only thing is, I wonder if I belong in heaven. I dreamed once I was there and I broke my heart with weeping to come back to earth, to the bleak moors. And I awoke, sobbing with joy, on top of Wuthering Heights.

You're not as black and horrible as they say. It's just you're full of pain, all twisted inside.

I want to crawl to her feet, whimper to be forgiven for loving her. For needing her more than my own life. For belonging to her more than my own soul.

I forgive you, I forgive you for what you've done. I love you, I love my murderer.
