Jonathan Harker quotes

View Quote Left Budapest early this morning. The impression I had was that we were leaving the west and entering the east. The district I am to enter is in the extreme east of the country, just on the borders of three states, Transylvania, Moldavia and Bukovina, in the midst of the Carpathian Mountains, one of the wildest and least known portions of Europe.

View Quote I did as Dracula instructed. I wrote three letters - to the firm, to my family, and to my beloved Mina. I said nothing of my fears, as he will read them, no doubt. I know now that I am a prisoner.

View Quote Dawn. These may be the last words I write in this journal. Dracula has left me with these women, these devils of the pit.

There must be passageway to the river, and then away from this cursed land where the devil and his children still walk with earthly feet.
