Maggie Evans: I know what Barnabas Collins is!... Joe, we haven't got time to talk. We've got to escape. We've got out of this town!

Barnabas Collins: I have spent the last two centuries locked in a box, with nothing to keep me occupied but a glimpse into the dark shadows of my soul.

The housekeeper Mrs. Johnson: "Too many things have happened in this house...too many things you can't explain...it's as if there's some evil force hovering over this house...some force that's trying to destroy this family."

Barnabas: "For most men, time moves slowly, oh so slowly, they don't even realize it. But time has revealed itself to me in a very special way. Time is a rushing, howling wind that rages past me, withering me in a single, relentless blast, and then continues on. I've been sitting here passively, submissive to its rage, watching its work. Listen! Time, howling, withering!"

David Collins: I wonder why Willie went in the secret room? Maybe there's something in there he doesn't want anyone to see-maybe someting... horrible!

Dr. Julia Hoffman: I want to protect you Barnabas. I'm not applying for a job as your maid.

[Maggie's response after Dr. Hoffman hypnotised her with her medallion]

Maggie Evans: Lovely, very unusual.

Roger Collins: What do you want?
Victoria Winters Clark: I think I left a drawing in here.
Roger Collins: It's on the table.
Victoria Winters Clark: Oh, thank you. I think David would kill me if I lost this.
Roger Collins: My son might kill you even if you didn't.

Judith Collins: Turn off that gramophone, it's driving me mad.

Quentin Collins: Perhaps that's why I play it.

"Loathesome I am, and evil. You can mock me for that. But leave my pain alone!"
-- Barnabas to Dave Woodward, 1967

Judith Collins: Turn off that gramophone, it's driving me mad.

Quentin Collins: Perhaps that's why I play it.

"I don't want wanything to happen to Barnabas Collins. Do you?"
-- Julia to Quentin, 1897

Maggie Evans: Oh Joe, look. I'd take a good book or a box of candy for a gift any day of the week.

Joe Haskell: You would?

[Maggie giggles]

Victoria, talking about Barnabas:

"But just the same, I wonder if that isn't why he always seems a little bit sad, a little bit lost. Because he is lost in the present. He really does come from another time. He'll never find it. Because it's gone forever."

Angelique: Let me give you one word of advice, Dr. Hoffman. The pursuit of Barnabas Collins can lead to nothing but misery. He is a cold, harsh, unresponsive man."

"You may scream all you want, but no one will hear you. Now, don't be afraid, my dear. I'm not going to hurt you. I wouldn't do anything to hurt my own flesh and blood."
-- Barnabas to Carolyn 1967

David Collins: I wonder why Willie went in the secret room?

"I've been through this with him before, you know. He will never forget Josette. He will always keep hunting for her."
-- Julia to Quentin, 1897

"I've always loved Collinwood. It's just as I remembered it."
"Remembered it? But you've never been here before."
"But-I feel as though I have. Descriptions, stories, they've all been handed down from generation to generation. And being here now is like-returning to a memory from childhood."
-- Barnabas and Elizabeth, 1967

"Angelique, we cannot love at will - anymore than we can prevent our love."
--Barnabas, 1840

I was a Collins. Why didn't you protect me? Where were you when I was turned into something that even my own father loathed? If his ghost is there with yours - tell him I've come home. I claim this house as mine. I am free now. And alive. The chains with which he bound me are broken. And I have returned to live the life I never had. Whatever that life may turn out to be."
-- Barnabas to Josette's portrait 1967

Barnabas Collins: I didn't say she was dead, I said I killed her.

"Quentin, this house is a house of lies. The only way to bring these people back to the truth is to smile and lie as much as they do."
-- Julia, 1970
