Quotes 

• [last lines] 

  Ethan Chandler : [Ethan Chandler reads his letter to Vanessa Ives while on a ship back to America, narrating]  Dear Vanessa... your many kindnesses I will always carry with me. Such generosity... has not been a part of my life, and I thank you for your affection and understanding. In my most frightened and lonely moments, you were there. And such light you brought to me. But I am made for the dark. As we both know. I am fit for only one place and should have been there long ago. Deep in the cold clay on a forgotten hill. Your road may be difficult. But mine is doomed. So we walk alone. Written with love... Ethan.

  Vanessa Ives : [after Vanessa turns off all the lights to the house]  So we walk alone.

• [Vanessa Ives stops herself from kissing the talking Vanessa Doll] 

  Vanessa Ives : You offer me a normal life... Why do you think I want that anymore? I know what I am. Do you?

• [Vanessa Ives tells Ethan Chandler that they can both walk away together] 

  Ethan Chandler : There's no walking away from what I am.

  Vanessa Ives : What we both are. I have run from the darkness for so long... only to find myself in a place darker still.

• [Vanessa Ives holds onto Ethan Chandler and tells him to be with her] 

  Vanessa Ives : Walk with me. You recall the night I came to your room? I was so frightened. You were kind, and in the morning I was not so frightened. Stay with me tonight.

  Ethan Chandler : And tomorrow?

  Vanessa Ives : [with tears in her eyes Vanessa smiles]  I promise you, we will be less afraid.

• [Vanessa Ives tells Mr. Clare that he's the most human man she's ever known] 

  Vanessa Ives : [Vanessa combs her hand over Mr. Clare's face and cries]  I think you are the most human man... I have ever known.

  [Vanessa kisses Mr. Clare before leaving him to his cries] 

• [the talking Vanessa Doll tells Vanessa Ives that her soul belongs to Him] 

  Vanessa Doll : The moment you opened your mouth and spoke the Verbis Diablo.

  Madame Kali : The moment you stretched your midnight powers to take the life of another.

  Vanessa Doll : At that moment, you took me in your arms and kissed me deep. Kiss me now and end the pain.

  Vanessa Ives : My soul is mine... that part of God is mine!

• [Ethan Chandler sees Vanessa Ives after she knows what he is] 

  Ethan Chandler : You know what I am.

  Vanessa Ives : Yes. And here I stand.

• [Mr. Clare tells Vanessa Ives he no longer has a dream] 

  John Clare : This dream I had... this... this long dream of kinship with those unlike me... it is gone.

  Vanessa Ives : Yes.

  John Clare : When you've seen that of which you are capable... when you have stood in blood long enough... what is there left but to wade to a desolate shore, away from all others?

• [Vanessa Ives tells Mr. Clare she no longer has a dream] 

  Vanessa Ives : There is no place far enough. I've lost the immortal part of myself, you see. No. I've thrown it away.

  John Clare : [Mr. Clare holds Vanessa's hand]  No matter how far you have walked from God... he is still waiting ahead.

  Vanessa Ives : You don't believe in God.

  John Clare : But you do.

  Vanessa Ives : That dream is gone.

• [Mr. Clare asks Vanessa Ives to come with him to their desolate shore] 

  John Clare : Come with me? To our desolate shore.

  Vanessa Ives : Mr. Clare... There is around me... a shroud that brings only pain. I won't allow you to suffer. Not you.

• [Vanessa Ives crushes in the face of the talking Vanessa Doll] 

  Vanessa Ives : Beloved. Know your master.

• [first lines] 

  Vanessa Doll : [the talking Vanessa Doll tells Vanessa Ives she's a murderer]  Murderer. How many scattered corpses will you leave in your bloody wake before your life has run its course? A hundred? A thousand? A race? Or will it be all of mankind you devour?

  Vanessa Ives : And you speak for the Fallen Angel?

  Vanessa Doll : 'The Fallen Angel.' Much the most gentle appellation you could give me, Beloved.

  Vanessa Ives : Beloved, is it?

  Vanessa Doll : Don't deny what you know to be true, Amunet.

• [Madame Kali tells Vanessa Ives she no longer has God on her side] 

  Madame Kali : God has turned his back on you. Church, God, Ministers of Grace. You've left them behind, you know you have.

  Vanessa Ives : No!

  Madame Kali : All of that is behind you, but what lies ahead? Think of it. All of time. All of history. Everlasting power to rule the darkness with he who loves you, and will never reject you.

  Vanessa Ives : You have no power to tempt me. I have faced eyes more cruel than yours, woman.

• [the talking Vanessa Doll offers Vanessa Ives a chance to be normal] 

  Vanessa Ives : There is an old dream in you. A deep longing. You know it.

  Vanessa Ives : No.

  Vanessa Doll : Let me show you what I can give you.

  Vanessa Ives : No.

  Vanessa Doll : To be free of pain. To be loved, simply for who you are. Is that not the engine in all human creatures? To be normal.

• [the talking Vanessa Doll promises Vanessa Ives peace] 

  Vanessa Doll : I will give you an eternity of peace with the man you love. And at the moment of your death, your family will gather around you and hold your hand.

  Vanessa Ives : And then?

  Vanessa Doll : No more suffering. No more anguished nights of terror. Only the peace of being who you were meant to be. At my side, cherished bride. Your body will die, but your spirit will be everlasting. Say yes.

  Vanessa Ives : And my friends?

  Vanessa Doll : Released. Left to live freely.

  Vanessa Ives : And my God?

  Vanessa Doll : A better God at your side.

  Vanessa Ives : And me?

  Vanessa Doll : You will be who you are. End the torment, Vanessa. Kiss me.
