| “I never lie," I said offhand. "At least not to those I don\'t love.”
Anne Rice, The Vampire Lestat
“Very few beings really seek knowledge in this world. Mortal or immortal, few really ask. On the contrary, they try to wring from the unknown the answers they have already shaped in their own minds -- justifications, confirmations, forms of consolation without which they can\'t go on. To really ask is to open the door to the whirlwind. The answer may annihilate the question and the questioner.”
Anne Rice, The Vampire Lestat
“I\'m Gentleman Death in silk and lace, come to put out the candles. The canker in the heart of the rose.”
Anne Rice, The Vampire Lestat
“Strong women are absolutely unpredictable.”
Anne Rice, The Vampire Lestat
“Oh, my darling, wish you were here!
And my dark soul is happy again, because it does not know how to be anything else for very long, and
because the pain is a deep dark sea in which I would drown if I did not sail my little craft steadily over the
surface, steadily towards a sun which will never rise.”
Anne Rice, The Vampire Lestat
“One will hate you for taking his life, another will run to excesses that you scorn. A third will emerge mad and raving, another a monster you cannot control. One will be jealous of your superiority, another shut you out... And the veil will always come down between you Make a legion, you will be, always and forever alone!”
Anne Rice, The Vampire Lestat
“Do devils love each other? Do they walk arm in arm in hell saying, “Ah, you are my friend, how I love you,” things like that to each other?...it was a matter of a concept of evil, wasn\'t it? All creatures in hell are supposed to hate one another, as all the saved hate the damned, without reservation.”
Anne Rice, The Vampire Lestat
