I am wondering what quotes famous people have made about Vampires over the years. Here is two that I have found. I think they are class!
'If ever there was in the world a warranted and proven
history it is that of vampires.'
Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1788)
--oOo--
'Throughout the whole vast shadowy world of ghosts and
deamons there is no figure so terrible, no figure
so dreaded and abhorred, yet the cause of such fearful fascination as the vampire'
Montague Summers (1928)
Wonderful! Maybe many famous poeple are paranoid. They fear of their lifes (blood is life...) Vampire can be embodiment of their fear...
Oooh i just found a lovely one.. Homer Simpson said this about Vampires.
"Lisa, Vampires are make-believe, like elves, gremlins, and Eskimos!"
heh
"Vampires do not cast a reflection in the mirror, for their image is an abomination to God."
That was on Wes Craven's Ascension, during the beginning credits...
Wow, I can't remember that one Dark Soul .... yay its a good 'un :)
Because you mentioned "The Simpsons" I shall leave you this...
Lisa: [Referring to Mr. Burns the Vampire]
"You must drive this stake right through his heart"
[Sounds of Homer Opening coffin]
Homer:
"Take that vile FIEND!"
[Homer plunges stake into body, repeatedly hammering]
Lisa:
"Ah...Dad, that's his crotch."
Homer:
"Ho, Ho, Ho, Sorry!"
~giggles~
and this....
Lisa:
"Mom! Dad! Mr. Burns is a vampire, and he's got Bart!"
Mr. Burns:
"Why, Bart is right here!"
Vampire Bart:
"Hello Mother. Hello Father. I missed you during my uneventful absence."
Homer:
"Oh Lisa! You and your stories! Bart is a vampire! Beer kills brain cells! Now lets go back to that...building...thingy... where our beds and TV...is."
K, I'm done....
...are you, like me, ready for the new dusk?"
--Ingrid Pitt
i agree with dark soul we vampires have no reflection.
'One thing vampire children are taught is, never run with a wooden stake" Jack Handy
"When other little girls wanted to be ballet dancers I kind of wanted to be a vampire." Angelina Jolie
I am what I am and Betty Ford Don't take vampires. Nick Knight....Forever Knight.
DarkStar-
"It is only your body that dies..."
That line is from Queen of the Damned. Marius had just turned Lestat. The look of concern on Lestats face prompted the comment from Marius as his body was beginning the death spasms.
:crys: I cant find the forevr knight DVD's anywere looks harder.
Thats correct, Rayne.
Sorry you can't find yer shizzit=(
Lol i was hopping you were talking about the movie because that still is my pet peeve that they said Marius sired Lestat.
:growls under breath:
YES!! THANK YOU, YOU LITTLE GODDESS, YOU!!
For the love of PETE!!! *MAGNUS* sired Lestat!!!
*wonders off to grumble in peace with Rayne*
Actually I think most of us would tend to prefer it that way, angel...
I'm glad I'm not the only one who hates the fact that they said Marius created Lestat. I yelled in the theatre What the fuck, it was MAGNUS lol
"Immortality is no excuse not to floss."
"Stay out of the sun. Keep away from sharp sticks. You'll live forever. That is supposed to be the deal."
"You don't know what it's like to have lived almost eight hundred years, and never tasted a french fry"
I never really went for those tan guys. Whose the guy who did that vampire movie...used to date Lydon Johnson's daughter, something bird...Hamilton! George Hamilton, that's who it was. A tan vampire, now there's a jerk!"
"Even eternity is too long to wait for a table."
"Why did you go back out into the sun at the power station? Did you think to yourself, 'Oh, today would be a good day to spontaneously combust'?
"Look, I can't take this one to the hospital. What am I gonna tell them? 'He's allergic to penicillin, garlic, sunlight, crosses and food, he's about 450 and he can fly'?"
hehe
if you beleave a Vampire to be some what of a god status then my quote will work, and hopefully it will become famous.
"Virtuous eyes shine ignominy upon thee for thy ominous ways. And so too did the gods of war rise upon their infamy, and triumphed." TwilightZero
well, that being a Vampire takeing more of an out cast role of neither good or bad side of a god. sorry, i got it mixed up XD
LOL, there are some funny and cute quotes here.. really enjoyed reading them all. I'm keeping searching fer more.
LOL Emmy, i ust found this thread. I was gone most of the weekend - your quote in the initial posit of the thread lol I have had that in my pforile. the correct translation is below (or alternate; can go semantics all day on it *wink*):
"If there is in this world a well-attested account, it is that of the vampires." -- excerpt from a letter from Jean-Jacques Rousseau to the Archbishop Christophe de Beaumont
Croquet with rubber mallets ... please forgive my typos
"We never spill blood when we feed little brother"
--said Lestat to Quinn
=)
This is from Preacher (comic book)
"Word of God?! course am gonna stick with you, ya eejit who wouldn't?.
Miss Naomi Campbell and Ms Schiffer would you mind pouring a coupla bottles over my Irish vampire's freinds body whilst i leave you alone".
I think thats right but you get the idea (4 none preacher fans word of god basically he sez (preacher) you do full stop really)
too funny Chaos darling ..here is another quote I liked..
"Silver is not the way. I am way past silver"
-------Alejandro, master of the vampires, to Anita Blake, vampire hunter, as she stabs him with a silver knife, in Circus of the Damned
Sic Gorgiamus Allos Subjectatos Nunc.
We gladly feast on those who would subdue us."
-Addams Family Credo
I liked this one, dont know whether its directly related to vampires... but it can be understood that way too ;)
"But first, on earth as Vampire sent,
Thy corpse shall from its tomb be rent:
Then ghastly haunt thy native place,
And suck the blood of all thy race;
There from thy daughter, sister, wife,
At midnight drain the stream of life;
Yet loathe the banquet which perforce
Must feed thy livid living corpse.
Thy victims are they yet expire
Shall know the demon for their sire,
As cursing thee, thou cursing them,
Thy flowers withered on the stem."
-Lord Byron (Giaour)
Ok that was groovey... I actually printed that up... would make a FABULOUS read on a tomb wall.....
*ponders*
LOL Khay! are you consideing using that on your epitaph?? Auld Lord Byron would rock in his grave if you did!! (snickers)
Well... if you must know, darling, the thought HAD crossed my mind *evilgrin*
....if you believe God made Satan, you must realize that all Satan's power comes from God and that Satan is simply God's child, and that we are God's Children also. There are no children of Satan, Really.
Armand From Interview with a Vampire
Christ was Armand so pompous! heh but tis a fun quote :)
What wonderful quotes! I really loved the simpsons ones.
heres a pretty cool quote, but it has nothing to do with vampires,
"It's better to be Dead and cool... then to be Alive and Un-cool." - Harley davidson (Harley davidson and the marlbro man)
actually that kind works for a vampire site if ya think about it... heheeh
If anyone comes across any 'Red Dwarf' vampire quotes, I'd love to read them *sniff* I looked and couldn't find.
Found one!
LISTER: Wait a minute... I think I've got a way of getting out of here. Has
anyone ever seen "Revenge Of The Surfboarding Killer Bikini Vampire Girls"?
KRYTEN: I think that one slipped us by, sir.
LISTER: Well, there's this one scene where the good-looking unconventional
female journalist who wore glasses and a tight sweater was trapped, deep in
the bosom of the surfboarding killer bikini vampire girls' lair, and she came
up with this truly award-winning escape plan...
Red Dwarf Season 6, Episode 2: Legion
"To whomever reads these words: Do not weep for me, and do not judge. The life to which I go is far sweeter than the one that I have known." -- Zsuzsanna Tsepesh' journal, Covenant with the Vampire, book one of The Diaries of the Family Dracul, by Jeanne Kalogridis.
" Listen to them . Children of the night . What music they make .. "
At least i think that's how it goes ..
-Dracula :)
Eternity sounds like a good idea until you realize you are going to spend it alone, Lestat, queen of the dammed
I adore all the old Dracula quotes.. that one about the children of the night singing was fabulous! thanks for sharing that one ;)
look at them, they all dance as if farthwer time were shooting bullets at their feet, which i suppose he is.
janette from 'forever knight'
i don't burn, i implode!
nick knight from 'forever knight'
sorry. that was supposed to be 'i don't tan, i don't burn, i implode'!!
(walks over and cracks my head against a wall!!)
Hahah your quoting me now are you :P
"That's not enthusiasm, it's desperation. They all dance as if Father Time were shooting bullets at their feet. Which, I suppose, he is. " :P
Filthy habit, but at least I know it can't kill me!"
--Forever Knight' - Janette on smoking
Schanke - "What happens to a person when they leave the love of their lives looking for cheap, quick thrills?"
Janette - "In my case, usually homicide." -- Schanke and Janette
Schanke: Just one thing, is that thing in the corner a coffin?
Janette: Oh, you mean uh, that old thing? We um, we cater to the occasional fetishist.
Schanke: My apologies, Janette. My Old Man, God rest his soul, he used to say to me the best offence is a good defense. Guy goes for you, you go right for his throat, you know what I mean?
Janette: Oh, yes. Intimately.
hehe gotta love her.
"We are vampires, we catch people with these hands, and draw blood with these lips... Our time goes by
impalpable under the shadow of the human world."
"Her blood coursed through my veins, sweeter than life itself, and as it did, Lestat's words made sense to
me: I knew peace only when I killed, and when I heard her heart, and that terrible rhythm, I knew again
what peace could be." -Louis in Interview With The Vampire
"I am powerful, I am immortal, I can do anything, I am cursed, I am the Darkness" -Jackie Estacado.
"Awaken to darkness on this place we call Earth,
One vampire's bite brings another one's birth.
A vampire wakes with blood thirsty needs
On the warm rich sensation he feels when he feeds.
He stalks in the night like a disatrous beast,
And what once was alive will soon be deceased.
So when the last bit of sunlight disappears from the sky,
You better watch out unless you want to die."
-Victoria Boatwright
"I am beyond your experience. I am beyond good and evil, legions of the night - night breed - repeat not the errors of the Night Stalker and show no mercy."
-Richard Ramirez
--- that should be enough for now lol
"I told her why we are here. I told her you wouldn't hurt Jack." - Phillip
"The coffin?" I smiled. I couldn't help it. He was a "Jack-in-the-box." - Anita
Guilty Pleasures by Laurell K. Hamilton
I can't help but quote this book. I received two of them for Christmas from a dear friend and I must say... the character of Snita Blake suits my personality quite well. If you ever wanna catch a glimpse (sp) of me... take a gander at these books... ROFL
(which isn't the most confidence inspiring vision of me, but lets face it... this is the closest some of y'all gon' get... rofl)
Jesus H Christ...
I leave this site for a few days and I forget how to type...
ANITA BLAKE. and do forgive any other typos in there.... roflmao
Akasha: "What is the primary use of men, if it is not to protect women from other men?"
Thought this one was interesting considering women may need protection from other women also!
Although not "about" vampires, my favorite quote is from "Dracula 2000", when the vampire is offered a particular hot drink and refuses it, saying "I don't drink - coffee".
The one quote that stands out for me, is from B stoker's Dracula......
''We thought her dying whilst she slept, and sleeping when she died'
Thomas hood (1799-1845)
D
Tiamat-
Hmmm.... Dracula 2000... Gerard Butler played the title role in that film. I thought he looked wierd because his eyes are naturally about ICE BLUE. They stuck him with brown contacts. They origionally thought his eye color was entirely too distracting from the role. Go figure.
I liked the part when they were discussing the house...
"It was a little too....." -Mary
"Catholic?..." - Dracula/Judas
And since I quote it that way.. I might as well point out the FABULOUS religious spin they put on the story of Dracula... kinda makes sense when ya think about it, huh?
Khayman -
Yeah, I remember the "Catholic" quote. :-)
When they showed name of the store where Mary worked (filling the screeen) I laughed out loud! At the end, I thought "that makes a LOT of sense".
Indeed it did...
yeah, the sceen with the name in it wasn't entirely lost on me either... made me kinda giggle..hehee
'Course anything with Gerard Butler in it makes me giggle like a blathering idiot anyway so..who knows..
rofl
Lestat: "I can't help being a gorgeous fiend, it's just the card I drew."
Memorable quotes:
"Yeah, you scare me. You probably scare everybody in this room. So what?"
"Genetics is a wonderful thing: brown eyes, curly hair, zombie raising."
"There's bits of carrot in the blood," Larry said.
"It's alright," I said. "Carrot's inert."
Anita Blake = Vampire Hunters
Do lyrics count? well even if they don't I'm still gonna post one: "See I can not be foresaken, Because I'm not the only one, We walk amoungst you feeding raping, must we hide from everyone" I really love this line in the song 'Foresaken' By Korn from the QOD sound track
They had forgotten the first lesson:that we must be powerful,beautiful, and without regret.
