"I worshiped your sister. I worship her still. Without her, life is meaningless. She was that substance of loveliness. [displays a painting of Elizabeth] I tried to capture it, but it was the way she walked and moved - her smile, her voice. She sang like an angel. And she could play the harpsichord as no other woman I've ever known could play."

"Could I have kept that ring without knowing it? Play the harpsichord without knowing it? Destroyed Elizabeth's room all without knowing it? My inner mind - creating evidence of Elizabeth's vengeful return because that mind knows. But I don't know! I will find out."

"I will tell you where you are. You are about to enter hell, Bartholomew. Hell! The Netherworld. The infernal region. The abode of the damned. The place of torment. Pandemonium. "Abbadon, "Tophet", "Gehenna". "Naraka", the pit! And the pendulum."

"Harlot! You will die in agony! Die!"

"The razor edge of destiny. That's the condition of man. Bound on an island from which he can never hope to escape - surrounded by the waiting pit of hell. Subject to the inexorable pendulum of fate - which must destroy him finally."

"Elizabeth was quite dead. I would stick my reputation on that fact."

"She does not haunt you, Nicholas. Can you not see that? It is you punishing yourself."

"This groundless dread must finally be put to rest. We will exhume Elizabeth."

"This is the beat of a human heart. Sit very still and listen. Is your heart beating in this same rhythm? You are experiencing the heartbeat of a dying man. And it is with death and dying that we concern ourselves. What happens at the point of death? What happens afterwards? What happens after death to someone who does not choose to stay dead, someone like Morella?"

"And what is it that happens just before death which leads inexorably to that death? Our second tale provides one roguish answer to that question in the story of a man who hated a cat. The Black Cat."

"What exactly is it that occurs within the moment of death, especially to a man within that moment who is not permitted to die, as in the case of Mr. Valdemar?"

"Pardon me, ladies, but could you spare a coin for a moral cripple?"

"Why don't you watch where I'm going, huh?"

"Haven't I convinced you of my sincerity yet? I'm genuinely dedicated to your destruction."
