“The beast has a purpose. 30 years ago, Godzilla appeared for the first time. Before that, he was only a legend. Godzilla is a warning. A warning to every one of us. When mankind falls into conflict with nature, monsters are born. I'm just trying to... send him home.”
Yôsuke Natsuki - Dr. Hayashida

“Nature has a way sometimes of reminding man of just how small he is. She occasionally throws up terrible offspring's of our pride and carelessness to remind us of how puny we really are in the face of a tornado, an earthquake, or a Godzilla.”
Raymond Burr - Steve Martin

“The Monster had escaped and was ravaging the countryside, killing, maiming, terrorizing. One night he burst into our house. My father took a gun and fired at him but the savage brute sent him crashing to a corner.”

Lionel Atwill - Inspector Krogh

“- Ghost of Henry Frankenstein: Would you destroy that which I, your father, dedicated his life to creating?
- Ludwig Frankenstein: I must. The monster you created is in itself destruction.”
Cedrick Webster Hardwicke - Ghost of Henry Frankenstein
Cedrick Webster Hardwicke - Dr. Frankenstein

“Ever since the day my father put life into that creature, it has been a curse. The terrible consequences of his creation killed my father, drove my brother into exile. The monster shall not ruin my life. I'm happy here. I have a lovely daughter, friends. They know nothing of all this.”

Cedrick Webster Hardwicke - Dr. Frankenstein
