Quote context

[...]

- Oh, you can't. If there's anything human left in you, don't make me a partner to this crime. It's mad! It's stupid!

- If your heart were only stronger than your dull care for the world and its conventions, I'd live silent and content in your shadow, begging for an occasional word or thought as I used to do.

- But now you had to destroy me with that weakness you call virtue. You had to keep me tormented with that cruelty you think so pious.

- How have I been cruel?

- You wished to be known as the finest lady in the county. You wanted your luxury and your light. And at the same time you wanted to keep me your despairing lover.

- Well, now that I am returned, had you given me the smile of love I might have been content.

- But you needn't think of me now as your despairing and foolish lover. You can think of me as Isabella's husband!

- And be glad for my happiness! As I am for yours!

- So ends the second act of 'Wuthering Heights.'

- But, before we continue, let's listen to a man we all like here in the Lux Radio Theatre.

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.

You're not as black and horrible as they say. It's just you're full of pain, all twisted inside.

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.
