“And I would see her sweet and palpable before me, a shimmering, precious creature soon to grow old, soon to die, soon to lose these moments that in their intangibility promised to us, wrongly … wrongly, an immortality.

When every moment, every moment must be first known and then savored.”
― Anne Rice, Interview with the Vampire
