Oh Lestat, you deserved everything that's ever happened to you. You better not die. You might actually go to hell.

And what constitutes evil, real evil, is the taking of a single human life. Whether a man would die tomorrow or the day after or eventually... it doesn't matter. Because if God does not exist, then life... every second of it... Is all we have.

Memory was a curse, yes, he thought, but it was also the greatest gift. Because if you lost memory you lost everything.

How pathetic it is to describe these things which can't truly be described.

I think to feel this happy is to be miserable, to feel this much satisfaction is to burn.

And what if I never go of my own free will? Will you pitch me from some window so that I must fly or fall? Will you bolt all shutters after me? You had better, because I'll knock and knock and knock until I fall down dead. I'll have no wings that take me away from you.

I will be the Vampire Lestat for all to see. A symbol, a freak of nature - something loved, something despised all of those things. I tell you I can't give it up. I can't miss. And quite frankly I am not in the least afraid." - Lestat, The Vampire Lestat, p. 532
