“In spite of all the refinements of civilization that conspired to make art--the dizzying perfection of the string quartet or the sprawling grandeur of Fragonard's canvases--beauty was savage. It was as dangerous and lawless as the earth had been eons before man had one single coherent thought in his head or wrote codes of conduct on tablets of clay. Beauty was a Savage Garden.”
― Anne Rice, The Vampire Lestat

“A person with taste is merely one who can recognize the greatest beauty in the simplest things.”
― Barbara Taylor Bradford, Her Own Rules

“You're the hunter, the warrior. You're stronger than anyone else here, that's your tragedy.”
― Anne Rice, The Vampire Lestat
