"I notice, Van Helsing, that you like to have the last word. You will not drag me into such childish practice. Paloștoi!"

"Where meat is found, flies are found."

"I crossed the oceans of time to find you."

"Van Helsing! Name known even in the wild places of Transylvania."

"A woman's place is next to her husband."

"You will find my home not easy to navigate. It is a very intricate growing maze of stairs and doors and shadows. [...] There is no map of my castle. No finished project was ever recorded in documents. It is said that many souls are trapped in the tangle of these corridors. Reserata amministrazionem, the prison without locks."

"[To Frankenstein's Monster] Wake up, my old friend. The moment has come."

"I was married. It seems like centuries now. She died. [...] She is lucky; my life is pitiful at best."

"I give you eternal life, eternal love, the power of storms and animals of the Earth. Come with me to be my beloved bride, forever."

"I had... a solar nightmare."

"wolfmen are such a nuisance during their first full moon. It's so hard to control them."

"I never eat... in the evening."

"Tonight is the anniversary of the death of my wife, Dolingen of Gratz. [...] A dark evil tore her from me when she was only twenty years old. [...] But there are things much worse than this. [...] You must know what they are. "Nosferatu", the undead, the monster that everyone fears."

"I look forward to seeing England Mr. Harker. People here are so limited, and I wither within these walls. They are all as if deprived. They are all tasteless."

"Now I no longer attach any importance to the sun, nor to the sparkling fountains that young people like so much. I just love darkness and shadows, where I can be alone with my thoughts."

"The lack of love is the cruelest and most abject of punishments."

"[To the wolfman in human form under tranquilizer] I'm sorry about the dose, my friend. It is quite lethal to humans. And then, a human dose would be out of place, wouldn't you say? Well, I'll go and get something to eat while you proceed to change into a more "comfortable" outfit."

"The luckiest man to walk this earth is the one who finds true love."

"There was a princess, Elizabeth; she was the most radiant woman in all the empires of the world. The man's deception took her away from her ancient prince. She threw herself to her death in the river you spoke of. In my native language it is called Argeș, the princess's river."

"I am the monster that breathing men long to kill. I am Dracula."

"Night creeps. How dirty they are!"

"I never drink... wine. Oh, to hell with it! Let me taste it!"

"But why don't they leave us alone? We never kill more than we need, or less than we deserve. Can they say the same?"

"I am at war against the world and against every living soul. But soon the final battle will begin."

"I can understand a man's character by the beating of his heart. Usually when I get close I can almost dance to that beat."

"You must forgive my niece, Mr. Harker. Sometimes girls his age tend to be a little too bold."

"Although they were warriors, my ancestors have always placed great value on books."

"It was a mistake to turn against me. I am your master and you are just a servant who betrayed me."

"I was taken from the darkness and sent to Earth to rob my people of blood. It's the only way I can still feed this stinking corpse."

"I am nothing more than an out of tune instrument in the divine symphony."

"For some time yet you will be a creature of the sun, until we have left behind us those who would destroy us. [...] Afterwards you too will be part of my race. We will feed on them and create other beings of our kind."

"Ah, young man you are like the village people who can never get into the spirit of a hunter."

"Time is a deep abyss like long endless nights, centuries come and go. Not having the ability to age is terrible. Death is not the worst: there are things much more horrible than death. Can you imagine it? Lasting through the ages, experiencing the same futile things every day."

"Those who say that death is cruel are only the unaware. But death is just a clean break. It is much crueler not to be able to die."

"Oh, Van Helsing, your disciples were very foolish to try to hide from me what is mine. Nothing is hidden from my eyes."

"Here we go, Van Helsing! Soon the creatures of the night will dominate the world. There is no one who can stop us!"

"I renounce God! I will rise from my death to avenge his death with all the powers of darkness. Blood is life... and it will be mine!"

"Do you believe in destiny? That even the powers of time can be altered for a single purpose?"

"There is a lot to learn from animals."

"Absinthe is the aphrodisiac of the self. The green fairy who lives in absinthe wants your soul. But with me you will be safe."

"Your helpless men with their foolish spells will not protect you from my power. I condemn you to eternal hunger for vital blood and living death."

"I am nothing. Lifeless. Soulless. [...] Hated and feared. I died for all humanity."

"Do you think you can destroy me with your idols? I who served the Cross? I, who commanded armies centuries before you were born! [...] I was betrayed. Look at your God what he has done to me."

"Give me peace."

"Renfield, don't bother me."

"There is not always misfortune in a burial."

"Renfield, you're an asshole!"

"[Addressed to Victor Frankenstein] I regret that your moment of glory should be ruined for a little thing like robbing a tomb."

"I don't have a heart! I don't feel love! Nor fear! Nor joy! Nor pain. I am an empty man, and I will have life for eternity."

"What is the purpose of a mirror? No one will ever find any inspiration in their gaze."
