Quote 1
Heathcliff-
"Cathy! Cathy! Come back to me once more. Oh my hearts darling, Cathy."
Quote 2
Ellen
Dean - "She calls him and he follows her out to the moors."
Quote 3
Mr.
Lockwood - "You see, I had a dream. I thought I heard a
voice calling. I reached out to close the shutter and something touched
me, something cold and clinging like an icy hand. And then I saw her, a
woman, but then my senses must have become disordered because the
falling snow shaped itself into what looked like a phantom."
Quote 4
Mr.
Lockwood - "Oh no, I don't believe in ghosts. I don't
believe in phantoms sobbing through the night."
Ellen Dean - "Poor Cathy."
Quote 5
Mr.
Lockwood - "I don't believe that life comes back, once it's
died and calls again to the living."
Ellen Dean - "Maybe if I told you a
story, you'd change your mind about the dead coming back. Maybe you'd
know, as I do, that there is a force that brings them back, if their
hearts were wild enough in life."
Quote 6
Cathy
- "He's, he's dirty."
Mr. Earnshaw - "On no. Don't make
me ashamed of you Cathy."
Quote 7
Cathy
- "You're so handsome when you smile. Don't you know that you're
handsome? Do you know what I've always told Ellen? That you're a prince
in disguise. I said your father was the Emperor of China, your mother
an Indian queen."
Quote 8
Cathy
- "Forgive me Heathcliff. Forgive me. Heathcliff...make the world stop
right here. Make everything stop and stand still and never move again.
Make the moors never change and you and I never change."
Quote 9
Cathy
- "Smell the heather. Heathcliff - fill my arms with heather. All they
can hold. Come on."
Quote 10
Heathcliff
- "Tell the dirty stable boy to let go of you. He soiled your pretty
dress. But who soiled your heart? Not Heathcliff. Who turns you into a
worldly fool? Linton does. You'll never love him, but you'll let
yourself be loved because it pleases your stupid, greedy vanity."
Quote 11
Heathcliff
- "That's all I've become to you. A pair of dirty hands?
Well, have them then. (slaps Cathy across the face) It doesn't help to
strike you."
Quote 12
Heathcliff
- "I want to crawl to her feet, whimper to be forgiven, for loving me,
for needing her more than my own life, for belonging to her more than
my own soul."
Quote 13
Cathy
- "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 and Linton's is as different as
frost from fire. Ellen... I AM HEATHCLIFF!
Quote 14
Cathy
- "Everything he's suffered, I've suffered. The little happiness he's
ever known I've had too. Oh, Ellen, if everything in the world died and
Heathcliff remained, life would still be full for me."
Quote 15
Ellen
- "There's someone who wishes to see you."
Cathy - "You sound as if it
where a ghost."
Ellen - "It is. He's come
back."
Cathy - "Who?"
Ellen - "Heathcliff."
Quote 16
Heathcliff
- "If he loved you with all the power in his soul for a whole lifetime
he couldn't love you as much as I do in a single day. Not he, not the
world, not even you Cathy can come between us."
Quote 17
Heathcliff
- "If you ever looked at me with what I know is in you, I would be your
slave. Cathy, if your heart were only stronger than your dull fear of
God and the world, I would live silently contented in your shadow. But
no, you must destroy us both with that weakness you call virtue."
Quote 18
Cathy
- "You vain little fool. I'll not be silent any longer. I'm going to
tell the truth. You're old enough to hear it and you're strong enough.
Don't you see what he's been doing? He's been using you to be near me.
To smile at me behind your back. To try to raise something in my heart
instead."
Quote 19
Isabella
Linton - "Yes! I love him and you're mad with pain and
jealousy with the thought of my marrying him because you want him to
pine for you and dream of you, die for you, while you live in comfort
and security as Mrs. Linton."
Quote 20
Isabella
Linton - "If Cathy died, I might begin to live."
Quote 21
Isabella
Linton - "Let her die, where she belongs, in Edgar's arms!
Let her die!"
Quote 22
Heathcliff
- "Why isn't there the smell of heather in your hair?"
Quote 23
Cathy
- "Heathcliff, come, let me feel how strong you are."
Heathcliff - "Strong enough to
bring us both back to life Cathy, if you want to live."
Quote 24
Heathcliff
- "Catherine Earnshaw, may you not rest so long as I live on. I killed
you. Haunt me then. Haunt your murderer. I know ghosts have wandered on
the earth. Be with me always. Take any form. Drive me mad. Only do not
leave me in this dark alone where I cannot find you."
Quote 25
Mr.
Lockwood - "I tell you, I saw them both. He had his arm
about her. So I climbed up after them and I found him, only him, alone,
with only his footprints in the snow."
Ellen Dean - "Under a high rock on
a ledge near Peniston Crag?"
Mr. Lockwood - "Yes."
Quote 26
Ellen
Dean - "He's with her. They've only just begun to live!
Goodbye, Heathcliff! Goodbye, my sweet Cathy!"
