Guillermo Del Toro Quotes

“What is a ghost?
A tragedy condemned to repeat
itself time and again?
A moment of pain, perhaps.
Something dead which
still seems to be alive.
An emotion suspended in time.
Like a blurred photograph.
Like an insect trapped in amber.
A ghost.
That's what I am.”
― Guillermo del Toro

“There are two levels of vampirism: one is the regular vampire, which is just like it has always been; and then there's the super vampires, which are a new breed we've created.”
― Guillermo Del Toro

“Sometimes the objects we hold dear give away who we are even more than the people we love.”

“The only piece of home Ofelia had been able to take with her were some of her books. She closed her fingers firmly around the one on her lap, caressing the cover. When she opened the book, the white pages were so bright against the shadows that filled the forest and the words they offered granted shelter and comfort. The letters were like footprints in the snow, a wide white landscape untouched by pain, unharmed by memories too dark to keep, too sweet to let go of.”
― Guillermo del Toro, Pan's Labyrinth: The Labyrinth of the Faun

― Guillermo del Toro, Hellboy: The Art of the Movie

“All art is portraiture and all art is political: those are the things that you cannot avoid. When someone sees you in your entirety for who you are, that’s the greatest act of love, because it’s granting you existence. And the rarest act of love is, like cinema, to see.”
― Guillermo del Toro

“What had brought him to this outpost of hell? Ferreira wondered while following Garces into the rain: fate or his own decisions?”
― Guillermo del Toro, Pan's Labyrinth: The Labyrinth of the Faun

“A primeira parte do plano, já posta em movimento, fazia do corpo do vampiro uma arma de guerra, de destruição em massa, funcionando como engenhosa forma de bioterrorismo capaz de converter o “inimigo” em “aliado”, simultaneamente espalhando o medo na medida em que se propaga.
Cria-se, assim, um verdadeiro exército de corpos infectados, inteiramente subjugados à vontade totalitária do Mestre. O plano previa, em um segundo momento, “uma fórmula para a matemática do poder. O perfeito equilíbrio
entre vampiros, gado e guardas”.
A nova sociedade, dominada pela classe vampiresca, instaurar-se-ia com a consciência de que os recursos naturais disponíveis são esgotáveis, e para que ela fosse sustentável, a praga não poderia espalhar-se descontroladamente.”
― Thiago Sardenberg, À Noite não Restariam Rosas: A Ameaça Epidêmica em Narrativas Vampirescas
