The blood is the life!
Bram Stoker -
For life be, after all, only a waitin' for somethin' else than what we're doin'; and death be all that we can rightly depend on.
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 -
Do you believe in destiny? That even the powers of time can be altered for a single purpose? That the luckiest man who walks on this earth is the one who finds… true love?
Bram Stoker -
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 -
I have been so long master that I would be master still, or at least that none other should be master of me.
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 -
Being proposed to all is very nice and all that sort of thing, but it isn’t at all a happy thing when you have to see a poor fellow, whom you know loves you honestly, going away and looking all broken-hearted, and to know that, no matter what he may say at the moment, you are passing quite out if his life.
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 -
The inscrutable laws of sex have so arranged that even a timid woman is not afraid of a fierce and haughty man.
Bram Stoker -
I could not resist the temptation of mystifying him a bit, I suppose it is some taste of the original apple that remains still in our mouths.
Bram Stoker -
There are bad dreams for those who sleep unwisely.
Bram Stoker -
I have a sort of empty feeling; nothing in the world seems of sufficient importance to be worth the doing.
Bram Stoker -
Yes, there is some one I love, though he has not told me yet that he even loves me.
Bram Stoker
-
Love is, after all, a selfish thing; and it throws a black shadow on anything between which and the light it stands.
Bram Stoker -
We are all drifting reefwards now, and faith is our only anchor.
Bram Stoker -
A brave man's hand can speak for itself, it does not even need a woman's love to hear its music.
Bram Stoker -
You yourself never loved; you never love! Yes, I too can love; you yourselves can tell it from the past. Is it not so?
Bram Stoker -
Ordinary men, to whom all things are possible, don't often, if ever, think of Heaven. It is a name, and nothing more, and they are content to wait and let things be, but to those who are doomed to be shut out for ever you cannot think what it means, you cannot guess or measure the terrible endless longing to see the gates opened, and to be able to join the white figures within.
Bram Stoker -
Denn die Todten reiten Schnell. (For the dead travel fast.)
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 -
Listen to them, the children of the night. What music they make!
Bram Stoker -
It is ever thus that the things which we do wrong - although they may seem little at the time, and though from the hardness of our hearts we pass them lightly by - come back to us with bitterness.
Bram Stoker -
No one but a woman can help a man when he is in trouble of the heart.
