A quotation from Moliere

CLÉANTE: Most men are strangely made; they always stray
   Out of the natural and proper way;
   Rejecting reason’s bounds as limitations,
   They range about amid their aberrations;
   Even the noblest things they often mar
   By forcing them and pushing them too far.
 
[Les hommes, la plupart, sont étrangement faits;
Dans la juste nature on ne les voit jamais:
La raison a pour eux des bornes trop petites,
En chaque caractère ils passent ses limites;
Et la plus noble chose, ils la gâtent souvent,
Pour la vouloir outrer et pousser trop avant.]

Molière (1622-1673) French playwright, actor [stage name for Jean-Baptiste Poquelin]
Tartuffe, or the Hypocrite [Le Tartuffe, ou L’Imposteur], Act 1, sc. 6 (1669) [tr. Frame (1967)]

"Vampire's Kiss - 1988"
I definitely recommend this Nicolas Cage classic, especially if you like his acting style. He turned it up to 11 in this one 😆
Apparently, he was inspired by old silent films.
