"We are prepared to abandon our passive posture of centuries with regard to your existence. We are prepared to declare you an enemy which must be exterminated at all costs. We are prepared to use our considerable power and resources to see that you are destroyed. Comply with our request and we will tolerate your presence in New Orleans and its environs. We will return to our harmless observations." - The Talamasca's "Declaration of Emnity", Merrick
"Ah, misguided and naive," Lestat repeated. "I like that. And it might do you good, all of you in the Talamasca, to remember that you're a pretentious bunch of meddlers, and your Elders are no better than the rest of you." - Lestat de Lioncourt, Blackwood Farm
