Im a devotee of Dracula, which was a pathfinder in horror and vampire fiction.

The dictate of the light says: Know yourself and what you are. The dark replies, By all means, but then become afraid.

We all have our dreams. May we find them, and God have mercy on us when we do.

I began to feel lighthearted. Don't ever do that; it tempts some dark and evil force abroad in the universe.

I submitted manuscripts to publishers. This was not so much a feeling that I should be published as a wish to escape the feared and hated drudgery of normal work.

I also love Disney, and will defend doing so, because there's so much in those films and I don't care if it's stereotyped.

Madness. I did not get myself born to die. I have better things to do.
