“They tried stoning me, my dear. It did not work.”

Family is the only real wealth.

Loathesome I am, and evil. You can mock me for that. But leave my pain alone!

There was much bitterness in the family. There were even those who would liked to have considered Barnabas Collins dead. But he lived on. He lived on-and outlived his enemies.

Without grace there is no hope, but with it there is no shortage.

Some men live their lives terrified. Terrified of the night and all that is dark. I will live my life eternally in fear of the light of day.

Love means never having to say you’re sorry. However, it is with sincere regret that I must now kill all of you.

I have already prepared my counter proposal. It reads thusly: you may strategically place your wonderful lips upon my posterior and kiss it repeatedly!

It is said that blood is thicker than water. It is what joins us, binds us, curses us.

Oh, my dear, if you only knew how strange is the matter regarding which I am here, it is you who would laugh.

But, my dear sirs, when peace does come, you may call on me for any thing. Then will I share with you the last cracker, and watch with you to shield your homes and families against danger from every quarter.

Death cures psychoneurosis. In a sense all these neurotic concerns–fear of rejection, interpersonal concerns–seem to melt away, and people get another perspective on their lives. The important things are really important, and the trivia of life is trivialized.

Blow the dust off the clock. Your watches are behind the times. Throw open the heavy curtains which are so dear to you – you do not even suspect that the day has already dawned outside.

A bambiraptor is a savage baby dear.

Justice is such a fine thing that we cannot pay too dearly for it.

Ever since the day you left me, I’ve been so miserable, my dear. I feel almost as bad as I did when you were still here.

Do not rely completely on any other human being, however dear. We meet all life’s greatest tests alone.
