Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992) quotes

View Quote (At Lucy's funeral)
Van Helsing: Jack, come here. I know how deeply you loved her. That is why you must trust me, and believe.
Doctor Jack Seward: Believe? How can I believe?
Van Helsing: I want you to bring me, before nightfall, a set of postmortem knives.
Doctor Jack Seward: (appalled) An autopsy?! On Lucy?!
Van Helsing: No, no, no, not exactly, I just want to cut off her head and take out her heart.

View Quote (Dracula is about to feed Mina his blood, but restrains himself)
Dracula: No! I cannot let this be.
Mina: Please, I don't care! Make me yours!
Dracula: You will be cursed as I am, and walk in the shadow of death for all eternity. I love you too much... to condemn you.
Mina: Take me away from all this death... (drinks)

View Quote [after Dracula returns to the Castle to find Elisabeta is dead]
Cesare: Sufletul ei nu poate să fie salvat. Ea este blestemată. Astă e legea lui Dumnezeu.
Dracula: RenunÈ›! RenunÈ› la Dumnezeu!

Cesare: Her soul cannot be saved. She is damned. It is God's law.
Dracula: Renounce! I renounce God!

View Quote (about Lucy) She lives beyond the grace of God, a wanderer in the outer darkness. She is "vampyr", "Nosferatu". These creatures do not die like the bee after the first sting, but instead grow strong and become immortal once infected by another Nosferatu. So, my friends, we fight not one beast, but legions that go on age after age after age, feeding on the blood of the living.

View Quote (about to complete Lucy's transformation into a vampire) Your impotent men with their foolish spells cannot protect you from my power. I condemn you to living death. To eternal hunger for living blood!

View Quote (as light illiminates the chapel) There, in the presence of God, I understood at last how my love could release us all from the powers of darkness. Our love is stronger than death.

View Quote (as wolves howl) Ahh, listen to them! (laughs) The children of the night. What sweet music they make!

View Quote (giving a medical lecture) The vampire bat must consume 10 times its own weight in fresh blood each day, or its own blood cells will die. Cute little vermin, ja? Blood, and the diseases of the blood such as syphilis, will concern us here. The very name "venereal diseases", the "diseases of Venus", imputes to them divine origin. They are involved in that sex problem about which the ethics and ideals of Christian civilization are concerned. In fact, civilization and syphilization have advanced together.

View Quote (heard as Dracula emerges from a box of earth in his younger form) Contrary to some beliefs, the vampire, like any other night creature, can move about by day - though it is not his natural time, and his powers are weak.

View Quote (helping Mina befriend a wolf) He likes you. There is much to be learned from beasts.

View Quote (in a letter to Jonathan Harker) My friend. Welcome to the Carpathians. I am anxiously expecting you. At the Borgo Pass, my carriage will await you and bring you to me. I trust your journey from London has been a happy one, and that you will enjoy your stay in my beautiful land. Your friend, D.

View Quote (Mina sees him violating Lucy in a wolf-like form) No! Do not see me!

View Quote (noticing the crucifix Jonathan Harker wears) Do not put your faith in such trinkets of deceit! We are in Transylvania, and Transylvania is not England. Our ways are not your ways. And, to you, there shall be many strange things...

View Quote (reading from a book about vampire history) "Here occurs the shocking and frightening history of the wild berserker, Prince Dracula, how he impaled people and roasted them, boiled their heads in a kettle, how he skinned them alive and hacked them to pieces and then... drank their blood." Ja, Dracul... "The blood is the life"...
