Wuthering Heights (1939 film) Quotes

Laurence Olivier as Heathcliff

  • (Laurence Olivier) "Why are your eyes always empty? Like Linton's eyes."
  • (Geraldine Fitzgerald) "They're not empty, if you'd only look deeper. Look at me. I'm pretty. I'm a woman and I love you. You're all of life to me. Let me be a single breath of it for you."
  • (Laurence Olivier) "If he loved you with all the power of his soul for a whole lifetime, he couldn't love you as much as I do in a single day."
  • (Laurence Olivier) "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."
  • (Laurence Olivier) "I cannot live without my life. I cannot die without my soul."
  • (Laurence Olivier) "Catherine Earnshaw, may you not rest so long as I live on. I killed you. Haunt me, then. Haunt your murderer. I know that 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. I cannot live without my life. I cannot die without my soul."
  • (Laurence Olivier) "My tears don't love you, Cathy. They blight and curse and damn you."
  • (Merle Oberon) "Heathcliff, don't break my heart."
  • (Laurence Olivier) "Oh Cathy, I never broke your heart. You broke it."
  • (Laurence Olivier) "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 vain, cheap, worldly fool? Linton does. You'll never love him, but you'll let yourself be loved because it pleases your stupid, greedy vanity."

Donald Crisp as Dr. Kenneth

  • (Donald Crisp) "Hindley, why don't you hit yourself over the head with a hammer when you wake up every morning?"
  • (Hugh Williams) "Why?"
  • (Donald Crisp) "Well, if you do, you'll achieve virtually the same results as you do with a bottle of whiskey, with much less wear and tear on the kidneys."
  • (Donald Crisp) "Ask your husband to call another doctor in future. Whoever dwells in this house is beyond my healing arts."

Merle Oberon as Cathy

  • (Merle Oberon) "Go on, Heathcliff. Run away. Bring me back the world."
  • (Cecil Humphreys) "Pack this fellow off."
  • (Laurence Olivier) "I'm going. I'm going from here and from this cursed country both."
  • (Cecil Humphreys) "Throw him out."
  • (Laurence Olivier) "But I'll be back in this house one day, Judge Linton and I'll pay you out. I'll bring this house down in ruins about your heads. That's my curse on you."
  • (Laurence Olivier) "On all of you."
  • (Merle Oberon) "I told you, Ellen. When he went away that night in the rain, I told you I belonged to him, that he was my life, my being."
  • (Merle Oberon) "Are you enjoying yourself, Heathcliff?"
  • (Laurence Olivier) "I've had the pleasure of watching you."
  • (Merle Oberon) "You're very grand, Heathcliff. So handsome. Looking at you tonight I could not help but remember how things used to be."
  • (Laurence Olivier) "They used to be better."
  • (Merle Oberon) "Don't pretend life hasn't improved for you."
  • (Laurence Olivier) "Life has ended for me."
  • (Laurence Olivier) "How can you stand here beside me and pretend not to remember? Not to know that my heart is breaking for you? That your face is the wonderful light burning in all this darkness?"
  • (Merle Oberon) "Heathcliff, no. I forbid it."
  • (Laurence Olivier) "Do you forbid what your heart is saying to you now?"
  • (Merle Oberon) "It's saying nothing."
  • (Laurence Olivier) "I can hear it louder than the music. Oh, Cathy. Cathy."
  • (Merle Oberon) "I'm not the Cathy that was. Can you understand that? I'm somebody else. I'm another man's wife, and he loves me. And I love him."
  • (Laurence Olivier) "If he loved you with all the power of 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."
  • (Merle Oberon) "Heathcliff, you must go away. You must leave this house and never come back to it. I never want to see your face again or listen to your voice again as long as I live."
  • (Laurence Olivier) "You lie. Why do you think I'm here tonight? Because you willed it. You willed me here across the sea."
  • (Merle Oberon) "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."
  • (Laurence Olivier) "The moors and I will never change. Don't you, Cathy."
  • (Merle Oberon) "I can't. I can't. No matter what I ever do or say, Heathcliff, this is me now; standing on this hill with you. This is me forever."
  • (Merle Oberon) "It would be dreadful if Hindley ever found out."
  • (Laurence Olivier) "Found out what? That you talk to me once in a while?"
  • (Merle Oberon) "I shouldn't talk to you at all. Look at you. You get worse every day. Dirty and unkempt and in rags. Why aren't you a man? Heathcliff, why don't you run away?"
  • (Laurence Olivier) "Run away? From you?"
  • (Merle Oberon) "You could come back to me rich and take me away. Why aren't you my prince like we said long ago? Why can't you rescue me, Heathcliff?"
  • (Laurence Olivier) "Cathy, come with me now."
  • (Merle Oberon) "Where?"
  • (Laurence Olivier) "Anywhere."
  • (Merle Oberon) "And live in haystacks and steal our food from the marketplaces? No, Heathcliff. That's not what I want."
  • (Laurence Olivier) "You just want to send me off. That won't do. I've stayed here and been beaten like a dog. Abused and cursed and driven man, but I stayed just to be near you. Even as a dog. And I'll stay till the end. I'll live and I'll die under this rock."
  • (Merle Oberon) "Did Joseph see which way you came?"
  • (Laurence Olivier) "What does it matter? Nothing's real down there. Our life is here."
  • (Merle Oberon) "Yes, milord."

David Niven as Edgar Linton

  • (David Niven) "Well, what brought about this amazing transformation? Did you discover a gold mine in the New World, or perhaps you fell heir to a fortune?"
  • (Laurence Olivier) "The truth is I remembered that my father was an emperor of China and my mother was an Indian queen, and I went out and claimed my inheritance. It all turned out just as you once suspected, Cathy: that I had been kidnapped by wicked sailors and brought to England; that I was of noble birth."
  • (David Niven) "I hope I misunderstood you. It's impossible that any sister of mine could think of Heathcliff as anything but surly dressed up beggar, a lout and a bore I shall take precautions to ensure you never see him again, now go to dinner"

Geraldine Fitzgerald as Isabella

  • (Geraldine Fitzgerald) "If Cathy died -- I might begin to live."

Hugh Williams as Hindley

  • (Hugh Williams) "If she's run off with that gypsy scum, let her run. Let her run through storm and Hell. They're birds of a feather and the Devil can take them both. Now, get me a bottle."

Flora Robson as Ellen

  • (Flora Robson) "Oh, you're lovely, Miss Cathy. Lovely."
  • (Merle Oberon) "That's a very silly lie. I'm not lovely. What I am is very brilliant. I have a wonderful brain."
  • (Flora Robson) "Indeed."
  • (Merle Oberon) "It enables me to be superior to myself. There's nothing to be gained by just looking pretty like Isabella. Every beauty mark must conceal a thought and every curl be full of humor as well as brilliantine."
