Book cover for Interview with the Vampire (The Vampire Chronicles, #1)
‘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.

Donna Tartt
“After all, the appeal to stop being yourself, even for a little while, is very great. To escape the cognitive mode of experience, to transcend the accident of one's moment of being.”
Donna Tartt, The Secret History

László Krasznahorkai
“...the freedom produced by love was the highest condition available in the given order of things, and given that, how strange it was that such love seemed to be characteristic of lonely people who were condemned to live in perpetual isolation, that love was one of the aspects of loneliness most difficult to resolve, and therefore all those millions on millions of individual loves and individual rebellions could never add up to a single love or rebellion, and that because all those millions upon millions of individual experiences testified to the unbearable fact of the world's ideological opposition to this love and rebellion, the world could never transcend its own first great act of rebellion..”
László Krasznahorkai, War & War

Donna Tartt
“One's thought patterns become different (...), when forced into the confines of a rigid and unfamiliar tongue. Certain common ideas become inexpressible; other, previously undreamt-of ones spring to life, finding miraculous new articulation.”
Donna Tartt, The Secret History

Milan Kundera
“...we are longtime outcasts, flying through the emptiness of time in a straight line.”
Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being

Donna Tartt
“Beauty is terror. Whatever we call beautiful, we quiver before it. (...) We want to be devoured by it, to hide ourselves in that fire which refines us.”
Donna Tartt, The Secret History
