Memorable quotes[]
- Professor Stokes: There are times when even a momentary loss of self-control could be dangerous.
Professor Stokes: A humorless man, Mr. Blair, is an incomplete man.
Professor Stokes: Adam, you must be careful not to...not to like her too much. Adam: Why? Professor Stokes: Oh, dear me. If only I’d had the foresight to marry and raise a family, I’d be equipped to answer that most annoying of all children’s questions. Why indeed?
Nicholas: Nameless, miserable spirits lying in violated graves, hear me. Listen to my command. Come to me, and help me if I am to help you. Maimed and suffering spirits robbed after death in the name of false creation, I speak as your benefactor! And I command you...make your presence known to me!
