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.

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
I will not let you go into the unknown alone.
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
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.

Image
A brave man's hand can speak for itself, it does not even need a woman's love to hear its music.
Bram Stoker
Image
Far, far away, there is a beautiful Country which no human eye has ever seen in waking hours. Under the Sunset it lies, where the distant horizon bounds the day, and where the clouds, splendid with light and colour, give a promise of the glory and beauty which encompass it. Sometimes it is given to us to see it in dreams.

Because if a woman's heart was free a man might have hope.
Bram Stoker
Image
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
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
Image
Truly there is no such thing as finality.
Bram Stoker
Image
She was young and very beautiful, but pale, like the grey pallor of death.
Bram Stoker
Image
But hush! No telling to others that make so inquisitive questions. We must obey, and silence is a part of obedience, and obedience is to bring you strong and well into loving arms that wait for you.
Bram Stoker
Image
It is wonderful what tricks our dreams play us, and how conveniently we can imagine.
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.

Take me away from all this Death.
Bram Stoker
Image
All men are mad in some way or the other, and inasmuch as you deal discreetly with your madmen, so deal with God's madmen too, the rest of the world.
Bram Stoker
Image
I want you to believe...to believe in things that you cannot.
