Bram Stoker

Dracula Bram Stoker

Bram Stoker, Dracula "There are darknesses in life and there are lights, and you are one of the lights, the light of all lights." "Listen to them, the children of the night. What music they make!" "We learn from failure, not from success!" "Once again...welcome to my house. Come freely. Go safely; and leave something of the happiness you bring." "I am longing to be with you, and by the sea, where we can talk together freely and build our castles in the air." "There is a reason why all things are as they are." "I am all in a sea of wonders. I doubt; I fear; I think strange things, which I dare not confess to my own soul." "Remember my friend, that knowledge is stronger than memory, and we should not trust the weaker" "I want you to believe...to believe in things that you cannot." "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." Abraham "Bram" Stoker (8 November 1847 - 20 April 1912) was an Irish author, best known today for his 1897 Gothic novel Dracula. During his lifetime, he was better known as the personal assistant of actor Henry Irving and business manager of the Lyceum Theatre in London, which Irving owned.
