Quote

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.

Nature in one of her beneficent moods has ordained that even death has some antidote to its own terrors.
Bram Stoker
Image
And then away for home! Away to the quickest and nearest train! Away from this cursed land, where the devil and his children stil walk with earthly feet!
Bram Stoker
Image
The blood is life... and it shall be mine!
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
Image
It is only when a man feels himself face to face with such horrors that he can understand their true import.
Bram Stoker
Image
Despair has its own calms.
Bram Stoker
Image
It is wonderful what tricks our dreams play us, and how conveniently we can imagine.
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
I sometimes think we must be all mad and that we shall wake to sanity in strait-waistcoats.
Bram Stoker

We are all drifting reefwards now, and faith is our only anchor.
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.

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.
