Quote context

[...]

- If there is someone lovelier than you, then I am blind, a man without a mind, if there is someone lovelier than you.

- But no, I am not blind, my eyes have traveled everywhere in hope that I might find a creature half so fair.

- If there is someone lovelier than you, by all that's beautiful, such beauty can't be true.

- On that stormy winter night, a century ago, the traveler, Lockwood, sat in the musty guest room at Wuthering Heights, listening to the story told him by the old servant, Ellen.

- Outside, the wind swept over the moors, shaking the ancient house to its foundations.

- 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.

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.
