I believe a man lost in the mazes of his own mind may imagine that he's anything.

The Wolf Man quotes
Page 1 of 2
Frank Andrews [to Gwen about Larry]
There's something very tragic about that man... and I'm sure that nothing but harm will come to you through him.
Mrs. Williams You should have seen the way he looked at me in Conliffe's shop. Like a wild animal. With murder in his eye!
Col. Montford [after shooting at the Wolf Man]
I could've sworn I hit him dead on.
Frank And I to.
The way you walked was thorny, through no fault of your own, but as the rain enters the soil, the river enters the sea, so tears run to a predestined end. Your suffering is over, Bela my son. Now you will find peace.
Col. Montford The wolf must have attacked her and Larry came to the rescue. I'm sorry Sir John.
Gwen [Crying]
Larry!
Col. Montford [showing Larry's stick to him]
Is this your walking stick?
Why, yes. That's the stick I killed the wolf with.
[Sir John Talbot and Col. Montford look at Larry with great concern]
Larry, Bela the gypsy was killed last night. Your walking stick was found next to the body.
You mean, Bela the fortune teller? But... I only saw a wolf.
Don't try to make me believe that I killed a man when I know that I killed a wolf!
Yes, yes. We're all a little bit confused.
You wouldn't wanna run away with a murderer wouldja?
Gwen Oh Larry, you're not. You know you're not.
I killed Bela. I killed Richardson. If I stay here any longer, you can't tell who'll be next.
For a thousand years we Gypsies have buried our dead like that. I couldn't break the custom even if I wanted to.
Rev. Norman Fighting against superstition is as hard as fighting against Satan himself.
Whoever is bitten by a werewolf and lives becomes a werewolf himself.
Ah, don't hand me that. You're just wasting your time.
The wolf bit you, didn't he?
Yeah. Yeah, he did!
You are not frightened, are you, Sir John?
Frightened, of what?
Of the night.
Rubbish. You startled me.
Don't be startled, Sir John. You have the silver cane for protection.
Who are you?
Hasn't your son told you?
You're the gypsy that's been filling his mind with this werewolf nonsense!
You killed the wolf.
Well, there's no crime in that is there?
The wolf was Bela.
You think I don't know the difference between a wolf and a man?
Bela turned into a wolf and you killed him. A werewolf can only be killed by a silver bullet, or a silver knife... [looks down at Larry's walking stick] ...or a stick with a silver handle.
You're insane! I tell you, I killed a wolf! A PLAIN, ORDINARY WOLF!
Yes, that’s the sign of the werewolf.
That’s just a legend though, isn’t it?
Yes, but like most legends, it must have some basis in fact. It’s probably an ancient explanation of the dual personality in each of us. How does it go? “Even a man who is pure in heart and says his prayers by night may become a wolf when the wolfbane blooms and Autumn moon is bright.”
You can't run away.
That's it! That's what she said.
Who?
The gypsy woman.
Gypsy woman? Now we're getting down to it. She's been filling your mind with this gibberish. This talk of werewolves and pentagrams. You're not a child Larry, you're a grown man and you believe in the superstitions of a Gypsy woman!
All astronomers are amateurs. When it comes to the heavens, there's only one professional.
Even a man who is pure in heartAnd says his prayers by nightMay become a wolf when the wolfbane bloomsAnd the autumn moon is bright.
