Bram Stoker

Though sympathy can’t alter facts, it can help to make them more bearable.

Nothing is too small. I counsel you, put down in record even your doubts and surmises. Hereafter it may be of interest to you to see how true you guess. We learn from failure, not from success!

My thesis is this: I want you to believe.

I am Dracula; and I bid you welcome, Mr. Harker, to my house. Come in, the night air is chill, and you must need to eat and rest.
