Count Dracula

"Are you crazy enough to compete against me? Against me who dominated entire nations?"

"Some of us have firmly decided that the decadence of the present age must be, and will be, arrested. A new political regime is being organized that once again gives importance to moral values. In the midst of humanity's indifference and confusion, persuasive methods may be necessary."

"I don't want such a simple and quick end, neither for Van Helsing nor for his granddaughter."

"On this eve of the Sabbat of the uncorrupted, I summon you here to witness my supreme triumph! Van Helsing, I choose this young niece of yours to be my consort."

"The instrument of my final victory, quicker, more frightening than the black death. The plague! From the first moments every muscle, every fiber will be in torment and agony. In the days to come, you will scream for death for your relief."

"My revenge has been simmering for centuries and is beginning to explode."

"Who dares to disturb Dracula's rest?"

"I do not grant favors to anyone. I do not accept the requests of the miserable. Don't you know that Dracula holds sway even from within the remotest corner of the world?"

"I need your mortal remains. I need the shape of your miserable carcass. I will take on your living image."

"I will give a breath of new life to the seven golden vampires and will make them my warriors, architects of my revenge on men."

"Van Helsing! Damn you! Even in this remote country you continue to persecute me."

"I am Dracula, lord of darkness, master of vampires, prince of the underworld, king of the damned!"

"I'm not young anymore, but I'm restless."

"My family descends from the Slovakian branch. For us it is a source of pride that the blood of so many races flows in our veins. In these hands is the blood of the great Attila. We have been entrusted with the protection of the Hungarian territory for centuries. The Bulgarians, the Lombards, the Turks poured en masse against our borders and we always repelled them. The Draculas have always been the heart, the brain, the directing mind, the sword, the glory of their people! One of my ancestors crossed the Danube and destroyed the Turkish host. Rejected several times, he continued to fight, to fight against the enemy. And he alone left that battlefield alive. He alone emerged victorious. He was truly a Dracula. But now, the wind blows coldly through the ancient crenellated walls. And although it hurts me, I have to leave."

"Are you interested in exchanges, Mister Harker? [...] he IS the best among all sports. The plan of action to kill the opponent is calmly prepared."

"When the Magyars, the Avars, the Lombards and the Turks appeared with their hordes on our borders, we always repelled them. Whenever we were forced by circumstances to retreat, we then gathered our forces and counterattacked. And when Árpád and his legions invaded our ancestral land of Hungary... Why, it's morning again. I abused her, keeping her up, even though it was a pleasant and, all in all, educational night."

"I'm going to England. And she? To Hell!"

"So you want to play cunning with me, I who led armies hundreds of years before you were born. Crazy people! Nothing and no one in this life can stop me. And to this end... Here! Now she will be blood of my blood, lineage of my lineage, then my follower in the night, now my slave and companion."

"You are now in my domain, gentlemen. And you won't leave."

"A man in my position is aware of the dangers of modern life, especially for young girls."

"How come you've never had a lover? It is unusual to find a girl as developed as you who has not been with a boy."

"I don't care whether my wife is a virgin or not. You see, I am a modern man. In front of Anton I pretend that I only want a virgin because he reports everything to my family. I don't care at all if my girlfriend is a virgin or not. The essential thing is that she is beautiful. And you are very beautiful. Therefore, you can confide in me. You're not a virgin, are you?"

"Do you know that in Romania it is customary to only take virgins as wives? Here, their husbands treat them like saints. [...] Not all women. Only virgin brides."

"The impure blood of these whores is killing me!"

"You understood me very well."

"No, no medicines. You must not pollute her blood."

"This kind of pain can be overcome with suggestion."

"I can't stand women who have no vitality... or blood."

"I have the habit of staying indoors. There are wolves in Transylvania."

"You have to be patient with me. You have to try to understand me. I can reward you with a long and fruitful life, but I must have your loyalty. Are you ready to give it to me?"

"I am Dracula; and I bid you welcome, Mr. Harker, to my house. Come in, the night air is chill, and you must need to eat and rest."
