Don't be a fool for the Devil, darling.

There are so many books I mean to read, and things I mean to see.

I am the Vampire Lestat. I'm immortal more or less. The light of the sun, the sustained heat of an intense fire-these things might destroy me. But then again, they might not.

An evil for these times destined to move through the world in handsome human guise.

I was a newborn vampire, weeping at the beauty of the night.

I knelt and prayed, and the strongest truth came over me. Didn't matter if God in his heaven was a Catholic or a Protestant God, or the God of the Hindus. What mattered was something deeper and older and more powerful than any such image - it was a concept of goodness based upon the affirmation of life, the turning away from destruction, from the perverse, from man using and abusing man. It was the affirmation of the human and the natural.

The supernatural world has always been more real to me than the real world.
