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
I sometimes think we must be all mad and that we shall wake to sanity in strait-waistcoats.
Bram Stoker
Image
It is only when a man feels himself face to face with such horrors that he can understand their true import.
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
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

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

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

And then away for home! Away to the quickest and nearest train! Away from this cursed land, where the devil and his children stil walk with earthly feet!
