I think I'm going to start posting a literary quote from whatever book that interests me (it could be popular fiction or whatever). I may write about the quote or create a short blurb in reaction to the quote. Today, I'll just post something that I found very interesting.
"We are in Transylvania, and Transylvania is not England. Our ways are not your ways, and there shall be to you many strange things." -- Dracula, Bram Stoker
This is a very interesting quote to me because of its relevance to todays politics and some of the matters we face every day. I also like the forwardness of the quote. It has been some time since I read Dracula but I remember eating it up. I liked it much better than Frankenstein and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde not entirely sure why though. Maybe I just like vampire stories more than monster stories. I think the quote begs at least a little contemplation and I'm glad I came across it when I did.
