Quotes

  • “"I see . . ." said the vampire thoughtfully, and slowly he walked across the room towards the window. [first line]”
  • “"God kills, and so shall we; indiscriminately He takes the richest and the poorest, and so shall we; for no creatures under God are as we are, none so like him as ourselves, dark angels not confined to the stinking limits of hell but wandering His earth and all its kingdoms."”
  • “People who cease to believe in God or goodness altogether still believe in the devil. I don't know why. No, I do indeed know why. Evil is always possible. And goodness is eternally difficult.”
  • “Vampires pretending to be humans pretending to be vampires ... How avant-garde!”
  • “Your quest is for darkness only. This sea is not your sea. The myths of men are not your myths. Men’s treasures are not yours.”
  • “"Good? What are you talking about, 'Good'?""That it's good, that it does some good, that there is good in it! Dear God, even if there is no meaning in this world, surely there can still be goodness! It's good to eat, to drink, to laugh, to be together!"”
