“I think human beings matter more than stones. (Signor Richetti)”

“I am a flawed human being - a far more flawed human being than yourealize.”

“No human being can be more human than another human being. I liberate you from my ignorance.”

“Being a vampire is no more fun than being a human I assure you.”

“I am not more gifted than the average human being. If you know anything about history, you would know that is so--what hard times I had in studying and the fact that I do not have a memory like some other people do… I am just more curious than the average person and I will not give up on a problem until I have found the proper solution. This is one of my greatest satisfactions in life--solving problems--and the harder they are, the more satisfaction do I get out of them. Maybe you could consider me a bit more patient in continuing with my problem than is the average human being. Now, if you understand what I have just told you, you see that it is not a matter of being more gifted but a matter of being more curious and maybe more patient until you solve a problem.”

“As a matter of fact, I think there are more things important in life than "relationships.”
