suddenly there came a tapping,
as of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door

The Raven - Edgar Allan Poe, quoted by Eric in The Crow

(Quotes are in the order in which they occur in the film.)

People once believed that when someone dies a crow carries that soul to the land of the dead. But sometimes something so bad happens that terrible sadness is carried with it. And the soul can't rest. And sometimes the crow can bring that soul back to put the wrong things right.

Sarah, The Crow's opening narration

Detective: Is this the victim?

Albrecht: No, it's Amelia Earhart, Detective. We found her. And you missed it.

outside the loft, after the murders

A building gets torched. All that is left is ashes. I used to think that was true about everything. Families, friends, feelings. But now I know that sometimes, if love proves real, two people who are meant to be together, nothing can keep them apart.

Sarah's voice-over, one year later, at the graveyard

There the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is.

T Bird at the loft, during the assault (reading from Milton's Paradise Lost)

I want you to tell me a story. A man and a woman in a loft a year ago.

Eric to Tin Tin, attacking him in the alley

Try harder! Try again.

Eric to Tin Tin in the alley, as the knives miss

Eric to Gideon, in the pawnshop

Mr Gideon, you're not paying attention.

Eric to Gideon, about Tin Tin

I think you can rule out accidental death.

Albrecht to Detective about Tin Tin

Detective: What the hell do you call that?

Albrecht: I call it "blood", Detective. I suppose you write it up as ... "graffiti".

Albrecht to Detective about crow painted on the wall at Tin Tin's murder site

Each one of these is a life. A life you helped destroy.

Eric to Gideon, chucking rings at him

Tell them Eric Draven sends his regards.

Eric giving a message to Gideon

Is that gasoline I smell?

Eric to Gideon, before blowing up the pawnshop

Do you know someone named T Bird? He had a friend who shouldn't have played with knives. ... Like the coat?

Eric to Albrecht, at the burning pawnshop

He was already dead. He died a year ago, the moment he touched her. They're all dead.

Eric to Albrecht, about Tin Tin and the others

One of my crew got himself perished.

It can't rain all the time.

Eric to Sarah, after saving her from the car

You got me dead bang.

Eric to Funboy, holding his palm against the revolver muzzle

You are seriously fucked up. You need professional help.

Don't you ever fucking die?
