“We are a vision without revelation. We are a miracle without meaning.”

“What in the hell is mortality? Shitting, pissing, eating, and then the same cycle all over again.”

“Louis, she’s here. She’s come for me.” Everyone Claudia’s spirit is mentioned my heart breaks a little more. The TV show really made me fall in love with her.

Lestat talks about his mastiffs more than he talks about everything else in this book, even more than he talks about himself. He just keeps bringing up how much he loved and now misses his dogs. And then he takes the German shepherd from Raglan James and makes sure to tell the reader the dog is beautiful and belongs to him now, and does nothing else in the narrative, so we know he’s safe.

“He wears woe as others wear velvet, sorrow flatters him like the light of candles, tears become him like jewels.” Someone read these books and somehow didn’t understand Lestat was really in love with Louis.
