“It was with Owen that I shared my earliest, most fervent craving: that of leaving, of escape. I can’t remember ever articulating this desire specifically, but I can remember my sense, from my very early years, that life was not Indiana, and certainly not Lindon, and possibly not even America. Life was elsewhere, and it was frightening and vast and mountainous and uncomfortable.”

“Also, I have cut—judiciously— passages that I felt did not enrich the narrative or were not otherwise of any particular relevance; such deletions will not detract from the overall portrait Norton has painted of himself here.”

Girl who only reads vampire books, reading a non-vampire book: getting a lot of ‘Carmilla’ vibes from this…

“It was then that Marius came. He was trembling. ‘Unburnt, whole,’ he whispered. ‘My son.’”

“I was there in the Cathedral in Kiev. I broke the egg with my thumbs. I saw the bird fly free.

I know my Mother stood at my side, and I know that my Father knocked over the chalice. I know because I know there is no part of me that could have imagined such a thing. And I know too because the colors I saw then and the music I heard were not made up of anything I had ever experienced.”

“‘We're alike, you and I,’ she whispered, looking down at me. Her hand lay close to my cheek, and she very lightly pressed the soft upper part of her forefinger against me.

‘Alike?’ I asked. ‘What in the world can you be thinking of?’

‘Monsters,’ she said. ‘Children.’"

Armand doesn’t know it yet, but motherhood is about to save his life

“I fear [Marius]. I don't know why. Perhaps I fear him because I could love him again, and loving him, I would come to need him, and needing him, I would come to learn from him, and learning from him, I would be again his faithful pupil in all things, only to discover that his patience for me is no substitute for the passion which long ago blazed in his eyes.”

Crazy ex-girlfriend Armand you are real #tome.

As if things couldn’t get any worse here comes Santino

“But then he was already centuries old and a wise being, and I was still a child.”

Armand acknowledge it. Acknowledge it. There are people asking you to please acknowledge it.

“I wished to find the boy, so pure of soul, who had opened these cells to bring the hermits just enough food and drink to keep them alive.
But I couldn't find the boy. I couldn't. And I felt only a raging pity for him that he had ever suffered here, thin and miserable, and desperate, and ignorant, oh, so terribly ignorant, having but one sensuous joy in life and that was to see the colors of the ikon catch fire.”

The negative consequences of a 1,483-year age gap are starting to sink in…

So much happened to Armand and he was only seventeen.. I would be psycho crazy too. Marius is an evil evil man.

"’This is the only sun that you will ever see again. But a millennium of nights will be yours to see light as no mortal has ever seen it, to snatch from the distant stars, as if you were Prometheus, an endless illumination by which to understand all things.’

And I, who had beheld a far more wondrous celestial light in that realm from which I'd been turned away, longed only for him to eclipse it now forever.”

“‘He has become the world to you as only such a great being can. […] A man such as that becomes all things to you, and his wise voice becomes the law by which everything is measured. All that lies beyond has no value because he doesn't see it, and he doesn't declare that it is valuable. And so you have no choice but to leave the wastes that lie outside his light and return to it. You must go home.’”

“‘Master, you play with me and I’m the toy that feels all things.’”

“No one spoke about the fact that I slept in the Master’s bed.”

sweet baby jesus and the grown one too !

“‘The story begins a long time ago. Maybe I’ve never truly realized how long ago, until this very moment. You listen and write. Let me be the one to cry and to rant and to rail.’”

“‘Armand, take hold of yourself. You cannot surrender to this,’ [David] said. His voice was sad.

But Armand was lost.

‘Why?’ Armand asked. He was just a child now on his knees. ‘Why?’

This is how he must have looked centuries ago when Marius had come to free him from his Venetian captors, a boy kept for lust, a boy brought into the palace of the Undead.”
