Im at war with the world and every living soul in it!... But soon the — Van Helsing

"Aleera: Tsk, tsk, tsk. So much trouble to my Master. So much trouble."

"I was so surprised Im doing any of this. Im not interested in vampires at all. (Laughs) When I first got sent the script for Underworld I didnt read it, but then I thought, hmm, vampires and werewolves... not really my kind of thing. And then when I got the script for this, again, I thought, "Oh, it all has to do with vampires and werewolves". But I thought my character was so different. First of all, Im not a vampire in this. (Laughs) Shes a gypsy and shes much more passionate. It just seemed like a very good role."

"[fighting Gabriel] Dont you understand?! We could be friends! Partners! Brothers-in-arms!"

"I should say that when people talk about capitalism its a bit of a joke. Theres no such thing. No country, no business class, has ever been willing to subject itself to the free market, free market discipline. Free markets are for others. Like, the Third World is the Third World because they had free markets rammed down their throat. Meanwhile, the enlightened states, England, the United States, others, resorted to massive state intervention to protect private power, and still do. Thats right up to the present. I mean, the Reagan administration for example was the most protectionist in post-war American history. Virtually the entire dynamic economy in the United States is based crucially on state initiative and intervention: computers, the internet, telecommunication, automation, pharmaceutical, you just name it. Run through it, and you find massive ripoffs of the public, meaning, a system in which under one guise or another the public pays the costs and takes the risks, and profit is privatized. Thats very remote from a free market. Free market is like what India had to suffer for a couple hundred years, and most of the rest of the Third World."

"The Dwarf sees farther than the Giant, when he has the Giants shoulders to mount on."

"If civilization has an opposite, it is war."

"A word of the faith that never balks, Here or henceforward it is all the same to me, I accept Time absolutely. It alone is without flaw, it alone rounds and completes all, That mystic baffling wonder alone completes all. (23)"

"I am dominated by one thing, an irresistible, burning attraction towards the abstract. The expression of human feelings and the passions of man certainly interest me deeply, but I am less concerned with expressing the motions of the soul and mind than to render visible, so to speak, the inner flashes of intuition which have something divine in their apparent insignificance and reveal magic, even divine horizons, when they are transposed into the marvellous effects of pure plastic art."
