- I was thinking that maybe someone would like to help me create a
- collection of some of the best vampire/vampiric quotes from books,
- friends, music, whatever....
-
- If someone would like to help me with this endeavour, please drop me a
- note.
-
- Here's some quotes to get us started.

- The Vampyre Jaws
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
- "It was many years ago that I became what I am.
- I was trapped in this life like an innocent lamb.
- Now I can never show my face at noon
- And you'll never see me walking by the light of the moon.
- The brim of my hat hides the eye of a beast
- I've the face of a sinner, but the hands of a priest."
-
- - Sting (Moon over Bourbon Street)
-
-
- HAMLET:
- 'Tis now the very witching time of the night,
- When churchyards yawn and Hell itself breaths out
- Contagion to this world. Now could I drink hot blood,
- And do such bitter business as the day
- Would quake to look upon.
-
- - William Shakespeare
- (Act III, Scene ii, Lines 388-392)

-
- Did you keep a watch for the dead man's wind
- Did you see the woman with the comb in her hair
- Wailing away on the wall on the strand
- As you danced to the Turkish song of the damned
-
