"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

"I have learned not to think little of any one's belief, no matter how strange it may be. I have tried to keep an open mind, and it is not the ordinary things of life that could close it, but the strange things, the extraordinary things, the things that make one doubt if they be mad or sane." - Bram Stoker

"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

"I sometimes think we must all be mad and that we shall wake to sanity in strait-waistcoats." - Bram Stoker

"There are mysteries which men can only guess at, which age by age they may solve only in part." - Bram Stoker

"We learn from failure, not from success!" - Bram Stoker
