“The more I understand my own appetite, the more I understand how far I am from satiating it. It is as though it spills out from me from every direction. I want to be desired, I want to travel, to paint, or write, to be listened to and respected, needed. I want true family, whether that be children or not. I want, I want, I want.”

“A vampire is a creature of total want, of pure appetite, an antithesis to our self-denial, and I find myself picking through the bones of the story about the tension between these two states. Appetite is a dirty word for women, a cardinal sin. For food and sex, yes, but also for power, for ambition, for violence. What is Carmilla but a woman unleashed on any limits on her appetites? Does it make her monstrous? Is what we celebrate in men always monstrous in women? Is it also not monstrous to starve ourselves, to kill our appetite until we embody a living death?”

“Reach as high as you can. Ascend to heaven. Rise to the challenge. Stretch to the sky. Elevate your mind. Seek knowledge at the summit. Attain the pinnacle of joy, the peak of success, the spire of aspire, the loft of lofty.”

“I hated her because I did not understand what it was that I had lost before I saw it in her.”
