More quotes by Bram Stoker
Within, stood a tall old man, clean shaven save for a long white moustache, and clad in black from head to foot, without a single speck of colour about him anywhere.
Bram Stoker
For me, I say no, but then I am old, and life, with his sunshine, his fair places, his song of birds, his music and his love, lie far behind. You others are young. Some have seen sorrow, but there are fair days yet in store. What say you?
Bram Stoker
There are such beings as vampires, some of us have evidence that they exist. Even had we not the proof of our own unhappy experience, the teachings and the records of the past give proof enough for sane peoples.
Bram Stoker
I am longing to be with you, and by the sea, where we can talk together freely and build our castles in the air.
Bram Stoker
I will not let you go into the unknown alone.
Bram Stoker
The blood is the life!
Bram Stoker
Oh, the terrible struggle that I have had against sleep so often of late the pain of the sleeplessness, or the pain of the fear of sleep, and with such unknown horror as it has for me! How blessed are some people, whose lives have no fears, no dreads to whom sleep is a blessing that comes nightly, and brings nothing but sweet dreams.
Bram Stoker
Safety and the assurance of safety are things of the past.
Bram Stoker
I stood beside Van Helsing, and said- Ah, well, poor girl, there is peace for her at last. It is the end! He turned to me, and said with grave solemnity:- Not so alas! not so. It is only the beginning!
Bram Stoker
The Stars are a long way off, and their words get somewhat dulled in the message.
Bram Stoker
If a man's esteem and gratitude are ever worth the winning, you have won mine today. If ever the future should bring to you a time when you need a man's help, believe me, you will not call in vain. God grant that no such time may ever come to you to break the sunshine of your life but if it should ever come, promise me that you will let me know.
Bram Stoker
We are in Transylvania, and Transylvania is not England. Our ways are not your ways, and there shall be to you many strange things. Nay, from what you have told me of your experiences already, you know something of what strange things there may be.
Bram Stoker
Loneliness will sit over our roofs with brooding wings.
Bram Stoker
She is one of God's women fashioned by His own hand to show us men and other women that there is a heaven where we can enter, and that its light can be here on earth.
Bram Stoker
We are all drifting reefwards now, and faith is our only anchor.
Bram Stoker
Never did tombs look so ghastly white. Never did cypress, or yew, or juniper so seem the embodiment of funeral gloom. Never did tree or grass wave or rustle so ominously. Never did bough creak so mysteriously, and never did the far-away howling of dogs send such a woeful presage through the night.
Bram Stoker
Oh, why must a man like that be made unhappy when there are lots of girls about who would worship the very ground he trod on?
Bram Stoker
We learn of great things by little experiences.
Bram Stoker
Doctor, you don't know what it is to doubt everything, even yourself. No, you don't you couldn't with eyebrows like yours.
Bram Stoker
Our toil must be in silence, and our efforts all in secret for this enlightened age, when men believe not even what they see, the doubting of wise men would be his greatest strength.
Bram Stoker
