Quotes by Montague Summers (?)

“In all the darkest pages in the malign supernatural, there is no more terrible tradition than that of a vampire - a pariah even among demons”
― Montague Summers

“Throughout the shadowy world of ghosts and demons there is no figure so terrible, no figure so dreaded and abhorred, yet dight with such fearful fascination, as the vampire, who is himself neither ghost nor demon, but yet who partakes the dark natures and and possesses the mysterious and terrible qualities of both.”
― Montague Summers

“Ce mort-vivant a un corps qui est son propre corps. Il n'est ni mort, ni vivant mais vivant dans la mort. Il est une anomalie, un paria parmi les monstres.”
