| "Throughout the whole vast shadowy world of ghosts and demons there is no figure so terrible, no figure so dreaded and abhorred, yet dight with such fearful fascination, as the vampire, who is himself neither ghost nor demon, but yet who partakes the dark natures and possesses the mysterious and terrible qualities of both." - Reverend Montague Summers, 1928 "If there is in this world a well-attested account, it it that of the vampires. Nothing is lacking: official reports, affadavits of well-known people, of surgeons, of priests, of magistrates; the judicial proof is most complete. And with all that, who is there who believes in vampires?" - Rousseau "I had seen my becoming a vampire in two lights: The first light was simply enchantment... But the other light was my wish for self-destruction." - Anne Rice, Interview with the Vampire. "I am neither good, nor bad, neither angel nor devil, I am a man, I am a vampire." - Michael Romkey (I, Vampire) "This world is older than any of you know, and contrary to popular mythology, it did not begin as a paradise. For untold eons, Demons walked the earth; made it their home -- their Hell. In time they (the demons) lost their purchase on this reality, and the way was made for the mortal animals. For Man. What remains of the Old Ones are vestiges: certain magics, certain creatures" - Giles (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) "A vampire is a - a - cell deal you can plug in the wall to charge your cell phone." - At a Colorado Republican fund raising event, August 2001, George W. Bush. "Blood is thicker than water...and much tastier." - Anon.
