Quote context

[...]

- The lamp on the mantlepiece flickered, casting eerie shadows.

- That night, Heathcliff went away.

- Cathy ran far across the moors after him in the bitter cold, calling his name into the wind.

- Hours later, in the morning, Edgar Linton found her, half-frozen in her silken party dress, unconscious on the crag the children used to call the Castle.

- For weeks after, she was ill. The Lintons took her to their manor house...

- And I was glad, for day by day, the strange influence that Heathcliff had had upon Cathy wore off and she was happy with Edgar.

- Why can't you remain here, forever, Cathy?

- Oh, Edgar, you and your sister, you've been too kind to me already.

- If I can make you happy by just by being kind, that should be enough for me. After all, what else can I give you?

- What else? You've given me a great deal else. You've given me your own self, your strength.

- My strength?

- You'd understand if you really knew what my life was before. It was like the moors, endless and desolate. And I was lost in them, calling for someone in the darkness to save me and nobody answered.

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.
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.
I killed you. Then haunt me. Be with me always. Take any form you wish. Only don't leave me where I can't find you.
