The king just sits there, moving one square at a time. The queen can move so freely. I suppose I’d rather lose the game than forfeit her freedom.

It is a blessing as well as a burden to love so much that you can hurt so badly when love is gone.

And happiness is always louder than sadness.

I want a simple, ordinary life . . . like humans enjoy.

Sorry, we've got ghosts.

My ideas about vampires may by romantic, but your attitudes toward women need a major overhaul.

You persist in this romantic vision of what it is to be a vampire, but despite my best efforts to curb it I have a taste for blood.
