“Louis was standing in door of the room opposite, across the hall…he was outfitted entirely in the new clothes I’d ordered for him, a long black riding jacket, sleek at the waist and flaring, and a pale pink European-linen handmade shirt. He wore a tie of green silk, almost exactly the color of his eyes, and there was an emerald ring on his finger of that very same green…I could scarcely breathe.”
-Lestat (“Prince Lestat and the Realms of Atlantis,” Chapter 4)
"I couldnāt answer. I knew I loved him more than words could say, but I couldnāt respond."
āLestat about Louis, Blood Communion (Anne Rice)
"And Lot’s wife, of course, was told not to look back where all those people and their homes had been. But she did look back, and I love her for that, because it was so human.
So, she was turned into a pillar of salt. So it goes.
People aren’t supposed to look back. I’m certainly not going to do it anymore."

“ ‘My coffin,’ I said, ‘put me in my coffin!’ When had I said those words before. ‘Put me in my coffin!’ And Louis had not done it, and Claudia had not done it. In came the knife.’ ”
- Lestat having déjà vu, Prince Lestat and the Realms of Atlantis
"So we reach into the raging chaos, and we pluck some small glittering thing, and we cling to it, and tell ourselves it has meaning, and that the world is good, and we are not evil, and we will all go home in the end."
"We sometimes encounter people, even perfect strangers, who begin to interest us at first sight, somehow suddenly, all at once, before a word has been spoken."
