Quotes from Castlevania Curse of Darkness

Dracula

"You side against me... for the sake of humans? Humans are not worth the air they breath. I was simply cleansing the world."

"The powerful always judge the weak. The humans made their judgment of me, as well. Thus I sentenced them... to extinction. Sympathy is merely a form of weakness."

"My soul may return to the abyss, but the curse will not be lifted! It will fester in the hearts of humans until they obliterate themselves..."


Hector

"Your advice is neither solicited, nor welcome. I will use any means necessary to achieve my revenge."

"To obtain the vengeance I seek, Isaac must be slain by my hand alone. Ergo, nothing was lost."

"It is not your place to judge the worth of humans."


Isaac

"Indeed, with this most forbidden of arts, a wisp of conjured matter can be transformed into a hellish devil! There are but two humans who possess this magnificent power you and I."

"But in the end, the glorious vengeance you seek will not be yours-- it will be mine!"

"Ha! You vanquished Lord Dracula by a fluke, a mere twist of fortune. Yet I grant, you are adept."

"Enough talk. Time to die!"

"I've been waiting quite a long time to plot my revenge. Not only did my Lord die because of you-- you stripped me of my pride, my home. Now I shall make you suffer as I suffered. You shall die a most painful, gruesome death."




Julia Laforeze

"Your enemy is my enemy... That is reason enough."

"My brother is in the venomous grip of Lord Dracula's curse. The desires of a single man mean nothing. The curse rules him."

"I know not what happened to you in the past, but there is no time now for regret."

"Hector... please do not die..."

"You've paid your debt, have you not? From this day on, you must live true to your own heart."

"All the same, people are not such fools. Their hope lies in one another. They shall realize that in time. Scars will fade and be lost to memory... Let us have faith in the morrow."


St. Germaine

"That I cannot tell. I know far more than you imagine. But I cannot act upon that knowledge. That is my... arrangement. I may only observe."

"I now see how fascinating time, or rather, fate truly is."

"Faith in the morrow? Those are fine words... But not for me. As one who travels through time, I see the morrow a bit differently."

"For myself, I think I will go far into the future and see what awaits. There is one great battle yet to be fought-- the final battle between Lord Dracula and the humans. Perhaps they will remember your fight. Or perhaps it will start anew."


Trevor Belmont

"Then this is the hour of your death!"

"Hector... Hunt him down. And when you have him, show him no mercy."

"...I am the one who shall vanquish him. Your meddling is unwelcome."


Zead

"Well, well, devil forging, isn't it? Never seen that before. Quite impressive. It's enough to make the blood run cold."

"I go by Zead. I'm here for one purpose only: to purify this land of the pestilent curse which infects it."

"No one escapes from me!"

"Do not go beyond your bounds! You mustn't speak nor act upon matters related to fate."


Zead (Death)

"Dracula will once more walk the night! And as of you, it is time for you to die!"


Conversations:

1) St. Germain and Hector

St.Germain: "I now see how fascinating time, or rather, fate truly is."

Hector: "Just who are you?"

St.Germain: "A traveler. Only half here. Not allowed to speak the truth. Not allowed to act upon reality. Yet one who knows all... That about covers it."


2) Trevor and Hector

Hector: "Believe what you like. But answer me this. Are you not Trevor Belmont... the one who defeated Lord Dracula?"

Trevor: "That I am. Though, I did not fight alone. There were many brave warriors beside me. And your name, sir?"

Hector: "Hector."

Trevor: "Hector... I shall remember that name."


3) Julia and Hector

Julia: "What now, Hector? Where will you go?"

Hector: "Well... I have many friends I must conceal from the humans. I suppose I'll seek some hidden place where I can live in peace."

Julia: "No need to search out such a place... I know of one."

Hector: "Pray, lead me there. I am in your debt."

Julia: "All that you may need you shall find here. If that is fine with you."

Hector: "Well, I suppose... To stay here with you, Julia... It's not a bad idea."
