Henry Frankenstein: Oh, what a wonderful vision it was. I dreamed of being the first to give to the world - the secret that God is so jealous of: the formula for life. Think of the power - to create a man - and I did. I did it! I created a man - and who knows, in time, I could have trained him to do my will. I could have built a race. I might even have found the secret of eternal life.
Quotes from Colin Clive movies and TV shows
Henry Frankenstein: There are always accidental deaths occurring.
Doctor Pretorius: Always.
Henry Frankenstein: What we need is a female victim of sudden death. Can you do it?
Minnie: It's Doctor Pretorius. He says he wants to see the Master. Most insistent.
Henry Frankenstein: Pretorius?
Minnie: He's a very queer looking old gentleman, sir. I must see you on a secret, grave matter, he said. Tonight. Alone.
Henry Frankenstein: Bring him in.
Elizabeth: Henry, who is this man?
Minnie: Doctor Pretorius.
Elizabeth: Speak to me, Henry.
Minnie: Oh, my lady, he'll never speak again.
Elizabeth: I was foretold of this. I was told beware of my wedding night.
Minnie: Awwwww! Oh, look! My lady, he's alive! Awwww.
Elizabeth: Henry, darling.
Henry Frankenstein: Elizabeth.
Minnie: Oh, what a terrible wedding night.
Henry Frankenstein: I've been cursed for delving into the mysteries of life.
Henry Frankenstein: When can I see it?
Doctor Pretorius: I thought you might change your mind. Why not tonight? It is not very late.
Henry Frankenstein: Is it far?
Doctor Pretorius: No, but you will need a coat.
Henry Frankenstein: He's just resting. Waiting for a new life to come.
Henry Frankenstein: Dangerous? Poor old Waldman. Have you never wanted to do anything that was dangerous? Where should we be if no-one tried to find out what lies beyond? Have your never wanted to look beyond the clouds and the stars, or to know what causes the trees to bud? And what changes the darkness into light? But if you talk like that, people call you crazy. Well, if I could discover just one of these things, what eternity is, for example, I wouldn't care if they did think I was crazy.
Henry Frankenstein: The brain you stole, Fritz. Think of it. The brain of a dead man waiting to live again in a body I made with my own hands! With my own hands.
Henry Frankenstein: Help! Help.
Villager #1: Listen, it's Frankenstein.
Villager #2: That way.
Victor Moritz: You're crazy.
Henry Frankenstein: Crazy, am I? We'll see whether I'm crazy or not.
Dr. Henry Frankenstein: The neck's broken. The brain is useless. We must find another brain.
