Quote

These infinitesimal distinctions between man and man are too paltry for an Omnipotent Being. How these madmen give themselves away! The real God taketh heed lest a sparrow fall. But the God created from human vanity sees no difference between an eagle and a sparrow.

I will not let you go into the unknown alone.
Bram Stoker
Image
But a stranger in a strange land, he is no one. Men know him not, and to know not is to care not for.
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
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
He may not enter anywhere at the first, unless there be some one of the household who bid him to come, though afterwards he can come as he please.
Bram Stoker
Image
Faith ... that faculty which enables us to believe things which we know to be untrue.
Bram Stoker
Image
It is wonderful what tricks our dreams play us, and how conveniently we can imagine.

Enter freely and of your own free will!
Bram Stoker

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
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
Image
She was young and very beautiful, but pale, like the grey pallor of death.
Bram Stoker
Image
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
Image
The Stars are a long way off, and their words get somewhat dulled in the message.
Bram Stoker
Image
We are all drifting reefwards now, and faith is our only anchor.
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.
Bram Stoker
Image
The only beautiful thing in the world whose beauty lasts for ever is a pure, fair soul.
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
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
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
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
