The Adventures Of Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle "Then, pray consult," said Holmes, shutting his eyes once more. "The facts are briefly these: Some five years ago, during a lengthy visit to Warsaw, I made the acquaintance of the well-known adventuress, Irene Adler. The name is no doubt familiar to you." The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde "Harry, don't talk like that. As long as I live, the personality of Dorian Gray will dominate me. You can't feel what I feel. You change too often." Frankenstein, or the Modern Prometheus by Mary Wollstonecraft (Godwin) Shelley 'The blood flowed freely in my veins, but a weight of despair and remorse pressed on my heart, which nothing could remove. Sleep fled from my eyes; I wandered like an evil spirit, for I had committed deeds of mischief beyond description horrible, and more, much more (I persuaded myself) was yet behind'. A Study In Scarlet by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle "And the florid face?" I asked. "Ah, that was a more daring shot, though I have no doubt that I was right. You must not ask me that at the present state of the affair." Dracula by Bram Stoker "You do not want to go to sleep?" "No; I am afraid." "Afraid to go to sleep Why so? It is the boon we all crave for." "Ah, not if you were like me-if sleep was to you a presage of horror " "A presage of horror What on earth do you mean?" "I don't know; oh, I don't know. And that is what is so terrible. All this weakness comes to me in sleep; until I dread the very thought."
