The Howling (film)

"We have to warn people, Chris. We have to make them believe."

"[on TV] It is, after all, what we are. Repression. Repression is the father of neurosis, of self-hatred. Now, stress results when we fight against our impulses. Weve all heard people talk about "animal magnetism", about the "natural man" and the "noble savage". As if we had lost something valuable in our long evolution into civilized human beings—and there’s a good reason for this. Man is a combination of the learned and the instinctual, of the sophisticated and the primitive. We should never try to deny the beast, the animal, within us - only to channel these energies in a positive direction."

"Good evening. From the day were born, there is a battle we must fight, a struggle between what is kind and peaceful in our natures, and what is cruel and violent. That choice is our birthright as human beings, and the real gift that differentiates us from the animals. It is as natural to us as the air we breathe. All of us take it for granted. But now, for some of us, that choice has been taken away. A secret society exists, and is living among all of us. Theyre neither people nor animal, but something in between. Theyre monstrous mutations with violent natures that must be satisfied. I know what youre thinking, because Ive been where you are... But I have proof, and tonight Im going to show you something... to make you believe! [she howls and starts to transform]"

"[watching Karen transforming on TV] Oh, boy!"

"She didnt feel a thing, Karen. None of them do. Theyre not...real, the people here. Theyre...theyre dead. They can never be like me. But youre different, Karen. I watch you on TV. And I know how good I can make you feel. Im gonna light up your whole body, Karen."

"All your nightmares are about to be transformed into one single inescapable fear."

"Imagine your worst fear a reality."

"[pulling the bullet from his fractured skull out of the hole it left in his head] You said on the phone that you wanted to get to know me. Well, here I am, Karen. Look at me. [pulls out a piece of his brain] I want to give you a piece of my mind. I trusted you, Karen. You can trust me now."

"All of us have a great untapped potential - a potential for living. What we do with that potential, with that life, depends as much on our attitudes toward our physical desires as it does on the social programming of our minds. The struggle between mind and body is not a necessary one. It produces anger, frustration, the strain of modern-day living in a world thats moving too quickly toward its own annihilation. Stress results when we fight against our impulses, when we attempt to destroy the natural man or woman within us. Repression is the father of neurosis, of self-hatred."

"[about his occult bookstore] We get em all: sun-worshippers, moon-worshippers, Satanists. The Manson family used to hang around and shoplift. Bunch of deadbeats!"

"Erle Kenton: You cant tame whats meant to be wild, Doc. It just aint natural."
