Image
Take me away from all this Death.
Bram Stoker
Image
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
Image
This man belongs to me, I want him!
Bram Stoker
Image
Though sympathy alone can't alter facts, it can help to make them more bearable.
Bram Stoker
Image
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
Image
There was a deliberate voluptuousness that was both thrilling and repulsive. And as she arched her neck she actually licked her lips like an animal till I could see in the moonlight the moisture Then lapped the white, sharp teeth. Lower and lower went her head. I closed my eyes in a languorous ecstasy and waited.
Bram Stoker
Image
Yes, there is some one I love, though he has not told me yet that he even loves me.
Bram Stoker
Image
She has man's brain--a brain that a man should have were he much gifted--and woman's heart. The good God fashioned her for a purpose, believe me when He made that so good combination.
Bram Stoker
Image
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
Image
Enter freely and of your own free will!
Bram Stoker
Image
And so we remained till the red of the dawn began to fall through the snow gloom. I was desolate and afraid, and full of woe and terror. But when that beautiful sun began to climb the horizon life was to me again.
Bram Stoker
Image
Because if a woman's heart was free a man might have hope.
Bram Stoker
Image
How good and thoughtful he is the world seems full of good men--even if there are monsters in it.
Bram Stoker
Image
We learn of great things by little experiences.
Bram Stoker
Image
I do not, as you know, take sufficient interest in dress to be able to describe the new fashions. Dress is a bore.
Bram Stoker
Image
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
Image
I sometimes think we must be all mad and that we shall wake to sanity in strait-waistcoats.
Bram Stoker
Image
Nature in one of her beneficent moods has ordained that even death has some antidote to its own terrors.
Bram Stoker
Image
I have always thought that a wild animal never looks so well as when some obstacle of pronounced durability is between us. A personal experience has intensified rather than diminished that idea.
Bram Stoker
Image
I'm a hard nut to crack, and I take it standing up.
