Jonathan Harker
- There was something about them that made me uneasy, some longing and at the same time some
deadly fear. I felt in my heart a wicked, burning desire that they would kiss me with those red lips. It
is not good to note this down, lest some day it should meet Mina's eyes and cause her pain; but it is
the truth.
- "It seems to have made a new man of me. It was the doubt as to the reality of the whole thing that
knocked me over"
- "In the midst of my thought my eye fell upon the red scar on my poor darling's white forehead.
Whilst that lasts, there can be no disbelief."
- "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. God keep
me, if only for the sake of those dear to me!"
- "No man knows till he has suffered from the night how sweet and dear to his heart and eye the
morning can be."
- "Doctor, you don't know what it is to doubt everything, even yourself. No, you don't; you couldn't
with eyebrows like yours."
- "And yet, unless my senses deceive me, the old centuries had, and have, powers of their own which
mere 'modernity' cannot kill."
- "It is only when a man feels himself face to face with such horrors that he can understand their true
import."
- "We are all drifting reefwards now, and faith is our only anchor."
- "For now, feeling as though my own brain were unhinged or as if the shock had come which must
end in its undoing, I turn to my diary for repose. The habit of entering accurately must help sooth
me."
- "I read that every known superstition in the world is gathered into the horseshoe of the Carpathians,
as if it were the centre of some sort of imaginative whirlpool; if so my stay may be very interesting."
- "What manner of man is this, or what manner of creature is it in the semblance of man?"
- "My only doubt was as to whether any dream could be more terrible than the unnatural, horrible net
of gloom and mystery which seemed closing around me."
- "I promise." and as I said it I felt that from that instant a door had been shut between us."
