Lucy Westenra Quotes

“Oh, the terrible struggle that I have had against sleep so often of late; the pain of the sleeplessness, or the pain of the fear of sleep, and with such unknown horror as it has for me! How blessed are some people, whose lives have no fears, no dreads; to whom sleep is a blessing that comes nightly, and brings nothing but sweet dreams.”

“I am longing to be with you, and by the sea, where we can talk together freely and build our castles in the air.”

“I suppose that we women are such cowards that we think a man will save us from fears, and we marry him.”
