Quotes:
|
-
Dracula: Listen to them. Children of the night. What music they make!
-
[Reading from a Transylvanian tourist brochure]
Young Girl: "Among the rugged peaks that crown down upon the Borgo Pass are found crumbling castles of a bygone age."
-
Renfield: Master, don't kill me. Let me live - punish me - torture me - but let me live. I can't face God with all those lives on my conscience, all that blood on my hands.
-
Dracula: This is very old wine. I hope you will like it.
Renfield: Aren't you drinking?
Dracula: I never drink wine.
-
Van Helsing: You'll die in torment if you die with innocent blood on your soul.
Renfield: God will not damn a poor lunatic's soul. He knows that the powers of evil are too great for those with weak minds.
