Most people who have read the book are not going to be able to come up with exact quotes. I only read this last year and I can’t remember specifics like this.

Dracula as an evil person is the easier argument to support, but I’ll give you one good and one evil.

Since I’ve read this book so many times, I had a pretty good idea of where to find these quotes. For most of the book, Dracula isn’t actually present, and I was reluctant to give you quotes that show how the other characters believe he is evil. Their opinion isn’t really proof.

From Chapter 4, when Dracula called wolves to kill and eat a woman who was standing outside his castle:
Somewhere high overhead, probably on the tower, I heard the voice of the Count calling in his harsh, metallic whisper. His call seemed to be answered from far and wide by the howling of the wolves. Before many minutes had passed a pack of them poured, like a pent-up dam when liberated, through the wide entrance into the courtyard.

There was no cry from the woman, and the howling of the wolves was but short. Before long they streamed away singly, licking their lips.

And from Chapter 27, when Jonathan Harker is writing about his execution of Dracula:
Had I not seen the repose in the first place, and the gladness that stole over it just ere the final dissolution came, as realization that the soul had been won, I could not have gone further with my butchery.

For that one, Jonathan is saying that as he killed Dracula, the glad expression on Dracula’s face at the end showed that his soul was saved. If Dracula only did those awful things while his soul was missing, and was glad to have it back, the original person he had been wasn’t evil.

Good luck with the rest of them.
