Bram StokerNature in one of her beneficent moods has ordained that even death has some antidote to its own terrors.
Bram StokerYou yourself never loved; you never love! Yes, I too can love; you yourselves can tell it from the past. Is it not so?
Bram StokerIt is something like the way dame Nature gathers round a foreign body an envelope of some insensitive tissue which can protect from evil that which it would otherwise harm by contact.
