“To be a vampire is to be eternally in love.”

“The world changes, we do not, there lies the irony that kills us.”

“To write is to love again.”

“Don't be a pawn in somebody's game. Find the attitude which gives you the maximum strength and the maximum dignity, no matter what else is going on.”

“The prince of darkness is a gentleman.”

“Beauty is a terrible thing.”

“When you're a writer, you're a slave to the story.”

“Grief is a ghost.”

“The strongest have their moments of fatigue.”

“Let me give you a piece of advice. The handsome young fellow who's trying to rescue you from a hideous fate is never what he seems.”

“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.”

“What do years mean? What does it matter how long we are together? Or how far apart? When two people are as one, they are always together in spirit.”

“Nothing is ever truly lost. The universe remembers.”
