STEREOTYPES

• Humans:

How many goodly creatures are there here!

How beauteous mankind is! O brave new world,

That has such people in't!

• The Church:

If I stoop

Into a dark tremendous sea of cloud,

It is but for a time. I press God's lamp

Close to my breast; its splendour, soon or late,

Will pierce the gloom. I shall emerge one day.

You understand me? I have said enough?

• Vampires:

At times I almost dream

I too have spent a life the sages' way,

And tread once more familiar paths. Perchance

I perished in an arrogant self-reliance

Ages ago; and in that act a prayer

For one more chance went up so earnest, so

Instinct with better light let in by death,

That life was blotted out -- not so completely

But scattered wrecks enough of it remain,

Dim memories, as now, when once more seems

The goal in sight again...

• Camarilla:

For men begin to pass their natures bound,

find new hopes and cares which fast supplant

Their proper joys and griefs; they grow too great

For narrow creeds of right and wrong which fade

Before the unmeasured thirst for good.

• Sabbat:

Ay, that I had not done a thousand more.

Even now I curse the day--and yet, I think,

Few come within the compass of my curse,--

Wherein I did not some notorious ill,

As kill a man, or else devise his death,

Ravish a maid, or plot the way to do it,

Accuse some innocent and forswear myself,

Set deadly enmity between two friends,

Make poor men's cattle break their necks;

Set fire on barns and hay-stacks in the night,

And bid the owners quench them with their tears.

Oft have I digg'd up dead men from their graves,

And set them upright at their dear friends' doors,

Even when their sorrows almost were forgot;

And on their skins, as on the bark of trees,

Have with my knife carved in Roman letters,

'Let not your sorrow die, though I am dead.'

Tut, I have done a thousand dreadful things

As willingly as one would kill a fly,

And nothing grieves me heartily indeed

But that I cannot do ten thousand more.

• Independants:

Who can be wise, amazed, temperate and furious,

Loyal and neutral, in a moment? No man:

• Other:

And therefore as a stranger give it welcome.

There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio,

Than are dreamt of in your philosophy. But come;

Here, as before, never, so help you mercy,

How strange or odd soe'er I bear myself,

As I perchance hereafter shall think meet

To put an antic disposition on,

That you, at such times seeing me, never shall,

With arms encumber'd thus, or this headshake,

Or by pronouncing of some doubtful phrase,

As 'Well, well, we know,' or 'We could, an if we would,'

Or 'If we list to speak,' or 'There be, an if they might,'

Or such ambiguous giving out, to note

That you know aught of me: this not to do,

So grace and mercy at your most need help you, Swear.
