The Creature : The pansy at my feet doth the same tale repeat. Whither is fled the visionary gleam? Where is it now, the glory and the dream?
Sir Malcolm: We’re all neophytes in love. None of us have the tools, or the weapons, or the resources.
Dorian Gray : Passion will undo the best of us and lead only to tragedy. It’s ever thus for those who care so deeply.
Vanessa Ives : Oh, Ethan… I see… our Lord.
Vanessa Ives : Fear not old prophecies. We defy them. We make our own heaven and our own hell.
Sir Malcolm : We prize things most when we’ve lost them.
Vanessa Ives : I love storms. Primordial. Every bit of civilization gone. Everything true coming out
Ethan Chandler : We are not like others. We have claws for a reason.
Victor Frankenstein : There is only one worthy goal for scientific exploration.
Dorian Gray : Don’t we all want to paint ourselves into something better than we are?
Lily: Our little God has brought forth not angels but demons.
Sir Malcolm: You’re moving through the tall grass, getting a glimpse of the prey,
Sir Malcolm: When you see a river, you must follow it to its source,
Joan Clayton : Why people in this world hate what is not them. Why they fear all they don’t know. Why they hate themselves most of all. For being weak. For being old. For being everything altogether that is not God-like.
Joan Clayton : You must never speak the Devil’s language idly. Let this language not become easy in your mouth or soon it will no longer be your mouth but his.
Lily: We were created to rule, my love. And the blood of mankind will water our garden. Us and our kin, and our children, and our generations. We are the conquerors. We are the pure blood. We are steel and sinew both. We are the next thousand years. We are the dead.
Vanessa Ives : You know the true path to freedom? Open any vein.
Renfield : Let her be. And let this wretched world end and let another begin. The world of the night. The world of the bat and the owl and the spider. The blessed dark.
Victor Frankenstein : It is too easy being monsters. Let us try to be human.
Kaetenay : Graves will overflow. The rivers will run with blood. And darkness will consume the earth. Only one man can stop this.
Ethan Chandler : I annihilated a tribe. I betrayed my family. I slaughtered women and children, and murdered my friend, and I will send my father to hell, and laugh while I do it. I’m done trying to be good.
Victor Frankenstein : It would appear you have an Egyptian manof no particular age, who, at some point
in his indeterminate lifespan, decided to sharpen his teeth,
cover himself in hieroglyphics and grow an exoskeleton.
Or you have something else altogether.
Kaetenay : You can’t die until you’ve served your purpose.
Oscar Putney : Repetition is the bane of sensationalism.
Vanessa Ives : All sad people like poetry. Happy people like songs.
The Creature: Kind eyes can look on anything and find it beautiful.
Hecate Poole: When there are bodies stretched from here to the horizon, and you can walk across them without touching the ground, then you can weep.
Victor Frankenstein : When we were in school we dreamed, you remember, of walking into the Royal Society together with our triumph of presenting our evidence with a glorious flourish. And how all those who had hated us, and laughed at us, would be silenced. And we, heroes both, would conquer the world and beat back death. I have conquered death. And have created monsters. None more so than the man who sits before you.
Lily : When our day has come you will know terror.
Vanessa Ives : If I’m to be pent up, I’ll choose my own cell.
Victor Frankenstein : Scientifically speaking, life’s nothing but a series of chemical reactions. So, to accelerate or decelerate that process is of no great matter. It gives us that illusion of power in a life with little, does it not?
Sembene : I have been much feared and hated in my life. By my people, by yours. These marks mean I was a slave trader. It is my sin to live with. But in this house I have found kindness among the unkind.
Ferdinand Lyle : Never underestimate the power of a queen with lovely hair, my dear.
Oscar Putney : I’ve tasted success, sir, and it’s a meal I now wish to devour.
The Creature: When you have seen that of which you are capable, when you have stood in blood
long enough, what is there left but to wade to a desolate shore, away from all others?
The Creature: True evil is, above all things, seductive. When the Devil knocks at your door, he doesn’t have cloven hooves. He is beautiful, and offers you your heart’s desire in whispered airs. Like a siren, beckoning you to ruinous shore.
Victor Frankenstein : To conquer death is an ennobled calling.
Vanessa Ives : I have run from the darkness for so long, only to find myself in a place darker still.
Hecate Poole : There is only one way to free yourself of guilt. Embrace your sins.
Evelyn Poole : Sometimes you tie a lamb to lure a lion.
Lily : All men are utter slaves to their desires.
Vanessa Ives : Please do not fear for me. I have no fear myself. The old monsters are gone. The old curses have echoed to silence. And if my immortal soul is lost to me, something yet remains. I remain.
Dracula: When the time is right, my flesh. When she is abject. When she is helpless. When she begs for me. Then! We will have her.
Lily : How do you accomplish anything in this life? By craft. By stealth. By poison. By the throat quietly slit in the dead of the night. By the careful and silent accumulation of power.
Kaetenay: Nature is to be hunted.
Dracula: Bend your head back. Give me your neck. Give me your throat. Give me your blood. My name is Dracula.
Henry Jekyll : We are all two things in a way, are we not? Deep in the marrow. Angel and Devil. Light and dark. The pull between the two is the active verb which energizes our lives.
Victor Frankenstein : If you cannot endure the nightmare, you should not lie down for the sleep.
Henry Jekyll : In the end, we must be that thing the world demands of us. We must take the lust and the avarice and the ambition and bury them. All the alien, ugly things! All the things we really are!
Victor Frankenstein : We need not live on the fulcrum. We can be angel or beast fully.
Vanessa Ives : I have been touched by Satan. My weakness allowed it. My faith was not strong enough and Lucifer came to me. I didn’t fight him strongly enough. I don’t know that I fought him at all.
Victor Frankenstein : After all, it is our memories which make us monsters, is it not?
Dracula: Give me your flesh. Give me your blood. Be my bride. And then all light will end and the world will live in darkness. The very air will be pestilence to mankind. And then our brethren, the Night Creatures, will emerge and feed. Such is our power, such is our kingdom, such is my kiss.
Lucifer: I do believe what you say about Lucifer. After all, I was there. Oh, my dear. We have so much to catch up on, do we not?
Bartholomew Rusk : Ethan Talbot is a scourge upon the earth. Whatever code I have followed, I hereby disavow. If given the chance, I will shoot him in the back and butcher all his kind.
Vanessa Ives : You once said we name things so they don’t frighten us. I’m not frightened. His name is Dracula.
Catriona Hartdegen : No matter the language, the drama always ends the same way. The curtain falls on a stage bedecked with bodies and there is nothing but silence. And death holds all dominion.
Lily : There are some wounds that can never heal. There are scars that make us who we are. But without them, we don’t exist.
Jared Talbot : Treat the stranger who sojourns with you as the natives among you, and you shall love him as yourself.
Lily : We are not women who crawl. We are not women who kneel. And for this we will be branded radicals. Revolutionists. Women who are strong, and refuse to be degraded, and choose to protect themselves, are called monsters. That is the world’s crime, not ours.
Catriona Hartdegen : There is only one defense against isolation. Be with those you love.
Lily : The day a good woman will have to undergo such indignity is almost past. We will not have to suffer, our children to starve and freeze and die dishonored on cold hills. We will not be hungry forever. We will rise.
Dorian Gray : Do you not yet comprehend the wicked secret of the immortal? All age and die, save you. All rot and fall to dust, save you. Any child you bear becomes a crone and perishes before your eyes. Any lover withers and shrinks into incontinence and bent, toothless senility. While you, only you, never age. Never tire. Never fade. Alone. But after a time you’ll lose the desire for passion entirely, for connection with anyone. Like a muscle that atrophies from lack of use. And one day you’ll realize you’ve become like them. Beautiful and dead. You have become a perfect, unchanging portrait of yourself.
Alexander Sweet : There’s one monster who loves you for who you really are. And here he stands. I don’t want to make you good, I don’t want you to be normal. I don’t need you to be anything but who you truly are.
Justine : I would rather die here on my feet than live a lifetime on my knees.
