Book cover for I Who Have Never Known Men
I felt a surge of grief, I, who had never known men, as I stood in front of this man who had wanted to overcome fear and despair to enter eternity upright and furious. I sighed and left.

Robert McCammon
“See, this is my opinion: we all start out knowing magic. We are born with whirlwinds, forest fires, and comets inside us. We are born able to sing to birds and read the clouds and see our destiny in grains of sand. But then we get the magic educated right out of our souls. We get it churched out, spanked out, washed out, and combed out. We get put on the straight and narrow and told to be responsible. Told to act our age. Told to grow up, for God’s sake. And you know why we were told that? Because the people doing the telling were afraid of our wildness and youth, and because the magic we knew made them ashamed and sad of what they’d allowed to wither in themselves.”
Robert R. McCammon, Boy's Life

Anne Rice
“Better they should run from me than not see me. Better they should know I was something monstrous than for me to glide through the world unrecognized by those upon whom I preyed.”
Anne Rice, The Vampire Lestat

Anne Rice
“Well, now I know, whether I believe in hell or not, that vampires can love each other, that in being dedicated to evil, one does not cease to love.”
Anne Rice, The Vampire Lestat

Melissa Bobe
“Mothers should be respected, always," she said, her dark gaze unwavering, and the light-headedness sang between Max's ears. "They are the bearers of so many things. Important things.”
Melissa Bobe, Sibyls

“He only held her tighter, not knowing whether to say that he was grateful for her every day, or to tell her that he thought he might have almost died on the front porch just a moment ago, poisoned by thought and saved here and now by a simple act of love.”
Melissa Bobe, Sibyls
