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.
