Quote context

[...]

- 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.

- And so you see, I suppose I've really no more business marrying Edgar Linton than I'd have in heaven. But, oh, what can I do?

- You're thinking of Heathcliff?

- Who else?

- He's sunk so low, he seems to take pleasure in being mean and brutal and yet... he's more myself than I am.

- Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same. Everything he's suffered, I've suffered, too. The little happiness he's known, I've known.

- If everything else in the world died, and only Heathcliff remains, life would still be full for me.

- Who was that? Ellen, I heard...

- Miss Cathy, Miss Cathy? Heathcliff's taken Master Hindley's best horse and he's gone.

- Gone? Did he hear what I said?

- Yes.

- How much did he hear?

- Oh, I'm not sure. But I think to where you said it would degrade you to marry him.

- No! No, Heathcliff! Heathcliff, come back! Come back, Heathcliff!

- The curtain falls on the first act of 'Wuthering Heights.'
