Though sympathy alone can't alter facts, it can help to make them more bearable. - Bram Stoker

"My Life is a barren and lonely one, and so full of work that I have not had much time for friendships...I have known so many good people and seen such nobility that I feel more than ever-and it has grown with my advancing years-the lonliness of my life. Believe, me, then, that I come here full of respect for you, and you have given me hope-hope, not in what I am seeking of, but that there are good women still left to make life happy." Dr Van Helsing to Mia Seward.

"I promise." and as I said it I felt that from that instant a door had been shut between us.
