Yeah, I've read it. Although I can't exactly pick out my favorite quote from the book, I'd have to say one of them is this:

"Truly there is no such thing as finality." —Dr. Seward, in his diary, 26 September

I've read it... Though it's kinda hard which one to pick... There were lots of good lines in that book... But I'd say this one:

"But as I did so the head turned, and the eyes fell upon me, with all their blaze of basilisk horror."—Jonathan Harker's Journal, 30 June (Chapter 4)

I love it. There are so many great quotes that I love... but here's just one:

"The fair girl went on her knees and bent over me, fairly gloating. There was a deliberate voluptuousness which was both thrilling and repulsive, and as she arched her neck she actually licked her lips like an animal... I could feel the soft, shivering touch of the lips on the supersensitive skin of my throat, and the hard dents of two sharp teeth, just touching and pausing there."

Back in the day, this must have been very creepy to those people who have zero perception of a vampire.

'children of the night. What music they make'. It was so freaky that it made me laugh

‘sweetness was turned to adamantine, heartless cruelty, and the purity to voluptuous wantonness,’ was when they described lucy after she turned into a vampire. It really depends on which subject you're doing on Dracula, but if you're either doing the doppleganger or femme fetale, this is a handy quote!
