"A wolf will turn on you, a witch will betray you, and a ghost will consume you. I know you think you can change this. I know you want to. I just don’t think you can."
— The Huntress, Wilde Life
Lori: Horrible. It's all horrible.
Rachel: To be able to fly? To be smoke, or a wolf; to know the night, and live in it forever? That's not so bad. You call us monsters, but when you dream, it's of flying and changing, and living without death. You envy us. And what you envy...

Lori: ...we destroy.
Reinhardt: You didn't have to kill him! He saved my life!
Magehunter: Killing mages is my job.

"Why? WHY? You have to ask?! Because I made an unbreakable vow...in the name of my family, in the name of Mother Gaia, and in the name of all Heaven, I will fulfill my duty as a Seraph to ERADICATE ALL DEMONS! ...as well as traitors like you."
"Why do you even want to kill vampires? Sure, they're snobby and insufferable... Uh... I mean, I'd imagine so, anyway..."

It was a dark and spooky Halloween night
When I, Dracula, thought that I would invite
All of my freaky friends who were there in a flash
To a big dance party; a Monster Mash!
Wolfman, Frankenstein and Mummy were there
While Medusa fed some mice to the snakes in her hair
It was a groovy good time for a vampire bat
To fly out of his coffin and—
-wait, what was that?
Tis I!
Never fear, Simon Belmont is here
To destroy evil monsters and all you hold dear
I will end your cruel necromancing
Actually, we were just dancing...
To Hell, demon beasts, from whence you came
You're in Castlevania, this isn't a game
Now run away, free this land of its chains
As God as my witness, I shall see you all slain!

"The Doves are so childish, too. It's just a coffee shop... so what if some Ghouls are just brewing some coffee?"
"Do I so offend you, my lady? You wandered from one place to the next for hundreds of years, always in fear of the jealous warm. Like all un-dead, you were outcast on the face of the earth. Was this not injustice? Harried by inferiors, we were denied the succour of church and the protection of law. You and I, we have both lost girls that we have loved, to peasants with sharpened spikes and silver sickles. I am named Tepes, and yet it was not Dracula who pierced the heart of Carmilla Karnstein, nor that of Lucy Westenra. My dark kiss brings life, eternal and sweet; it is the silver knives that bring cold death, empty and endless."

Malack: I'm trying to find a compromise between our positions, Brother Thundershield, but you're not making it very—
Durkon: Thar be no compromise! Thar be no parley an' thar be no reasonable discussions! Yer a frickin' vampire, Malack! Yer a danger ta everyone livin' on this continent! An' e'en if'n I ignor'd tha, ye still cannae be 'llowed ta seize this place!
Malack: ...I see. Then there can only ever be conflict between us now.
Durkon: Aye. 'Fraid so.
Malack: [pausing wistfully, before springing into an attack] Then die.

Miranda: I heard you can't tell until it happens. One minute he's just standing there all chilly-calm, then wham: he cuts your head off and puts it in a sack on his belt!
Chloe: That’s just a story nannies tell children so they behave!
Miranda: Chloe... you need to leave.

John Constantine: I take it you hammer first and ask questions afterwards.
Mr. E.: The only good vampire is a dead vampire, Constantine.
John Constantine: I'm sure they'd agree with you on that score. You ought to watch it, you know. One day the boogeymen are going to come out of their closets and start parading down the high street. They'll be marching for equal rights, free blood, and your head on a platter.

"You are uncomfortable because the one dying seems so human. But I can assure you; he is no different from the creature eating him alive. All vampires are destined to become monsters. Each one slain is who-knows-how many lives saved. That is why I do not hesitate to cheer and make sport of their death, and why you shouldn't either."
