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.

Quote context

[...]

- Oh, Ellen, it would be heaven to escape from here.

- What about Heathcliff?

- You know he gets worse every day.

- It would degrade me to marry him. I wish he'd never come back.

- What was that?

- I think... Oh, nothing. The wind perhaps.

- Well, my darling, if Master Edgar and his beautiful home mean heaven to you, you'd better enter that heaven and take your place among the Linton angels.

- 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.

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.
I forgive you, I forgive you for what you've done. I love you, I love my murderer.
You're not as black and horrible as they say. It's just you're full of pain, all twisted inside.
