Still reading Dracula; here are a few more quotes I particularly liked:
“And yet, unless my senses deceive me, the old centuries had, and have, powers of their own which mere ‘modernity’ cannot kill.”
“away from this cursed spot, away from this curse land, where the devil and his children still walk with earthly feet.”
I wonder how Romanians feel about that…
“A good deal of interest was abroad concerning the dog which landed when the ship struck, and more than a few of the members of the SPCA, which is very strong in Whitby, have tried to befriend the animal.”
I didn’t even know the SPCA has been around that long. Stoker seems to be mocking their concern with the dog considering the inhumane situation the captain of the ship was found in; which is somewhat understandable.
