Quote

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.

More quotes by Bram Stoker

Image
Suddenly, I became conscious of the fact that the driver was in the act of pulling up the horses in the courtyard of a vast ruined castle, from whose tall black windows came no ray of light, and whose broken battlements showed a jagged line against the sky.
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
This man belongs to me, I want him!
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
It is wonderful what tricks our dreams play us, and how conveniently we can imagine.
Bram Stoker
Image
Though sympathy alone can't alter facts, it can help to make them more bearable.
Bram Stoker

I am Dracula, and I bid you welcome . . .

Enter freely and of your own free will!
Bram Stoker
Image
I sometimes think we must be all mad and that we shall wake to sanity in strait-waistcoats.
Bram Stoker
Image
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.
Bram Stoker
Image
We learn of great things by little experiences.
Bram Stoker
Image
No man knows till he has suffered from the night how sweet and dear to his heart and eye the morning can be.
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
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
She was young and very beautiful, but pale, like the grey pallor of death.
Bram Stoker
Image
Faith ... that faculty which enables us to believe things which we know to be untrue.
Bram Stoker
Image
The only beautiful thing in the world whose beauty lasts for ever is a pure, fair soul.
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
I do not, as you know, take sufficient interest in dress to be able to describe the new fashions. Dress is a bore.
