"When we are weary we speak of dreams, as if they embodied our true desires - what we would have when that which we do have so sorely disappoints us. But for this wanderer the concrete world has always been the true object of desire and weariness came only when the world seemed dreamlike." - The Mummy "Consequently, if you believe God made Satan, you must realise that all Satan's power comes from God and that Satan is simply God's child; and that we are God's children also. There are no children on Satan really." - Interview with the Vampire "And there lay an essence to the age, for its morals were of a practical ilk, rejecting at every turn the miraculous. With unprecedented courage, they had founded their greatest ethical advances squarely upon the truths embedded in the physical." - The Queen of the Damned. "Eventually the ones you love are simply that." - The Queen of the Damned "Why does shame and self loathing become cruelty to the innocent? How is that so often the case?" - Merrick "She deserves to know what my heart is telling me. She deserves to know the truth. Nothing will ever come of it, nothing can, but she ought to know it. She ought to know that I am devoted to her, that she's supplanted a grief in me which could have destroyed me, which may destroy me still." - Merrick "Yes, I'm saying we might linger. Of course. Lingering after death for some while is not beyond the realms of science to explain someday - a soul of definable substance detached from the flesh and caught in some energy field that wreathes the planet. It is not beyond imagining, no, not at all. But, it doesn't mean immortality. It doesn't mean Paradise or an Inferno. It doesn't mean justice or recognition. It doesn't mean ecstasy or unending pain." - Merrick "It's so easy to wish for death when there's nothing wrong with you - it's so easy to fall in love with death, and I've been all my life, and seen its most faithful worshippers crumble in the end, screaming just to live, as if all the dark veils and the lillie's and the smell of candles, and grandiose promises of the grave, meant nothing." - Violin "Whatever the case, I did nothing but brood about it, and try to keep busy, and the panic grew in me, rising and falling, and it began to come at it's very worst at twilight each day. Now that summer was coming and the days were longer, I knew the waves of panic longer - sometimes from about 4pm till 8. There came that image of me putting a gun to my head and the thought that the bullet would make the pain end. Then I thought about what that would do to Pops and Aunt Queen and I put it out of my mind." - Blackwood Farm.
