"You bitch, you killed me! You suck!"
—The first words of the newly vampirized C. Thomas Flood, You Suck
"Hello, darling! Don't be shy! I promise not to bite...until we've been formally introduced. My name's Astarion, and I've spent a century stalking the night, hunting for pretty morsels just like you. A man called Cazador made me what I am, kept me like a pet, and force me to do his bidding, no more! The tadpole's influence broke his dominance over me, and now, I can finally pursue the one thing I've hungered for all these long years: revenge. I'm going back to Baldur's Gate, to track Cazador down in his lair...I'll be the last thing the bastard ever sees!"
— Astarion, Baldur's Gate III
"My eyes are opened, Kain - I find no nobility in the unlife you rudely forced on my unwilling corpse!"
—Raziel, Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 2
"Which one of you did it? One of you did it! Which one of you made me the way I am?"
—Claudia, Interview with the Vampire, to Lestat and Louis

God damn these vampires for what they've done to me.

Sorin Markov: "I thought you understood. I thought you saw, grandfather, that there is more to this existence than gluttonous parties and wanton excess. I thought you saw that!"
Edgar Markov: "You are a child. You have always been a child. It's truly a shame. Millennia ago, I gave you a gift. Now I have to live out the rest of my days knowing you squandered it."
Sorin: "I never asked for that—"
Edgar: "My dear boy, that is what makes it a gift."
