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
Truly there is no such thing as finality.
Bram Stoker
It is only when a man feels himself face to face with such horrors that he can understand their true import.
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
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
We are all drifting reefwards now, and faith is our only anchor.
Bram Stoker
Let me be accurate in everything, for though you and I have seen some strange things together, you may at the first think that I, Van Helsing, am mad. That the many horrors and the so long strain on nerves has at the last turn my brain.
Bram Stoker
Despair has its own calms.
Bram Stoker
I'm a hard nut to crack, and I take it standing up.
Bram Stoker
The only beautiful thing in the world whose beauty lasts for ever is a pure, fair soul.
Bram Stoker
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
Oh, why must a man like that be made unhappy when there are lots of girls about who would worship the very ground he trod on?
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
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
I have a sort of empty feeling nothing in the world seems of sufficient importance to be worth the doing.
Bram Stoker
Though sympathy alone can't alter facts, it can help to make them more bearable.
Bram Stoker
I suppose that we women are such cowards that we think a man will save us from fears, and we marry him.
Bram Stoker
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
There is a reason why all things are as they are.
Bram Stoker
Yes, there is some one I love, though he has not told me yet that he even loves me.
Bram Stoker
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
