Did we not both die here in Marmaros fifteen years ago? Are we any the less victims of the war than those whose bodies were torn asunder? Are we not both the living dead?
    Peter Ruric, and Edgar G. Ulmer. Hjalmar Poelzig (Boris Karloff)

    Anyone with any real blood in his or her ... veins cannot help being a fan ....Being a true American and being a fan are synonymous.
    Lulu Glaser (1874–1958)
