Nosferatu Quotes

“The corpses in the wasteland of past and present haunt us. We are still in Eliot's land of the dead, imprisoned in Kafka's penal colony, running from the unexplained rage of the golem, listening to Lovecraft's drumbeat of horror, and shivering in the chilly shadow of Grau and Murnau's Nosferatu. We cannot awaken from history.”
― W. Scott Poole

“The rats were all gone, but He slid into the room through the sash, though it was only open an inch wide-just as the Moon herself has often come in through the tiniest crack, and has stood before me in all her size and splendour.”
― Bram Stoker, Dracula

“Games are never over because you think them so! Which is why I like you. Are you doing what you want to do...or are you simply another piece of a darkened puzzle? Your own actions predetermined by powers higher than yourself?”
― LaTorre Mays, Darkened Soul: Jonathan's Tale:

“Todos vivimos en dos mundos. Está el mundo real, con todos sus hechos y reglas, una lata. En el mundo real hay cosas que son verdad y otras que no lo son. La mayor parte del tiempo el mundo real es un asco. Pero todos vivimos también en el mundo que tenemos en la cabeza. Un "paisaje interior", un mundo hecho de pensamientos. En un mundo hecho de pensamientos cada idea es un hecho. Las emociones son tan reales como la gravedad. Los sueños son tan poderosos como la historia.”
― Joe Hill, NOS4A2

“The nosferatu do not die like the bee when he sting once. He is only stronger, and being stronger, have yet more power to work evil. This vampire which is amongst us is of himself so strong in person as twenty men, he is of cunning more than mortal, for his cunning be the growth of ages, he have still the aids of necromancy, which is, as his etymology imply, the divination by the dead, and all the dead that he can come nigh to are for him at command; he is brute, and more than brute; he is devil in callous, and the heart of him is not; he can, within his range, direct the elements, the storm, the fog, the thunder; he can command all the meaner things, the rat, and the owl, and the bat, the moth, and the fox, and the wolf, he can grow and become small; and he can at times vanish and come unknown.”
― Bram Stoker, Dracula

“Chi sostiene che "Nosferatu" sia un capolavoro espressionista mi ricorda quegli archeologi che vanno in brodo di giuggiole di fronte alla cruda forza artistica delle incisioni rupestri dell'Età del bronzo. Spiace contraddirli.”
― Frederik Sjöberg

“Resta o entendimento de que o contato com o vampiro potencialmente acarreta um contaminar-se por perniciosa moléstia simultaneamente do corpo e da alma: o contágio não é apenas uma infecção, é também maldição, um contrair impurezas.
Essa construção perpassa até mesmo o nível linguístico; entre as acepções etimológicas comumente atribuídas ao vocábulo “nosferatu”, que Stoker apenas popularizou ao se referir ao seu vampiro icônico, estariam “o impuro”, ou também, “aquele que carrega doenças”.”
