Dracula

by Bram Stoker

Well, the devil may work against us for all he’s worth, but God sends us men when we want them.”

I have learned not to think little of any one’s belief, no matter how strange it may be.

they know, some things which other men have told them. Ah, it is the fault of our science that it wants to explain all, and if it explain not, then it says there is nothing to explain.

Let me tell you, my friend, that there are things done today in electrical science which would have been deemed unholy by the very man who discovered electricity, who would themselves not so long before been burned as wizards.

He meant that we shall have an open mind, and not let a little bit of truth check the rush of the big truth,

“Then you want me not to let some previous conviction inure the receptivity of my mind with regard to some strange matter. Do I read your lesson aright?”

It is so hard to accept at once any abstract truth, that we may doubt such to be possible when we have always believed the ‘no’ of it.

It is really wonderful how much resilience there is in human nature.
