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.

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
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.
Bram Stoker
Image
Faith ... that faculty which enables us to believe things which we know to be untrue.
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
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
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
I will not let you go into the unknown alone.
Bram Stoker
Image
It is wonderful what tricks our dreams play us, and how conveniently we can imagine.
Bram Stoker
Image
Truly there is no such thing as finality.
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
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
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
Image
Despair has its own calms.
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
This man belongs to me, I want him!
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
How good and thoughtful he is the world seems full of good men--even if there are monsters in it.
Bram Stoker
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
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
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.
