I felt that Dracula's renegade lackey needed a page of his own.
Dedicated to R. M. Renfield, aetat 59.
"A kitten, a nice little, sleek, playful kitten, that I can play with, and teach, and feed - and feed - and feed!"
New! Who is Renfield?

Something New ... A Quote (and a Book!) I Think Renfield Would Like ...
Dwight Frye at the Internet Movie Database and at Cine Fantastico (in Spanish)
"The ancients did well when they typified the soul as a butterfly!" "I am here to do Your bidding, Master." "I don't take any stock in cats. I have more to think of now, and I can wait; I can wait." "All over! all over! He has deserted me. No hope for me now unless I do it for myself!" "Yes! The flies like it, too, and I like the flies; therefore I like it."
"Rats, "You're not the girl the doctor wanted to marry, are you? You can't be, you know, for she's dead." "Since I myself have been an inmate of a lunatic asylum, I cannot but notice that the sophistic tendencies of some of its inmates lean towards the errors of non causae and ignoratio elenchi." "Goodbye, my dear. I pray God I may never see your sweet face again. May He bless you and keep you!" "Lord Godalming, I had the honour of seconding your father at the Windham ... Mr Morris, you should be proud of your great state ... What shall any man say of his pleasure at meeting Van Helsing?" "I take witness that I am as sane as at least the majority of men who are in full possession of their liberties. And I am sure that you, Dr Seward, will deem it a moral duty to deal with me as one to be considered as under exceptional circumstances."
"If I am refused, the responsibility does not rest with me." "You will, I trust, Dr Seward, do me the justice to bear in mind, later on, that I did what I could to convince you tonight." "I don't want an elephant's soul, or, any soul at all!" "When Mrs Harker came to see me this afternoon she wasn't the same; it was like tea after the teapot had been watered." "There was a red cloud before me, and a noise like thunder, and the mist seemed to steal away under the door."
I'll try to venture in here and update when I get the chance. As you all know, there's a lot to be said about Renfield ... |
