“Then they started a fireAnd I burnt to ashes”
“Lestat: I despise you! I ought to destroy you-finish what I started when I made you. Turn you into ashes and sift them through my hands. You know that I could do it! Like that! Like the snap of mortal fingers, I could do it. Burn you as I burnt your little house. And nothing could save you, nothing at all.”
“My head is full of fireand grief and my tongueruns wild, piercedwith shards of glass.”
“Scatter the ashes of the past, happy in the wind. It is so healing, when you start again.”
“Well, I think we all started off as ash, astral ash; the Big Bang and all that. You and I - stardust. Maybe a little piece of me and a little piece of you were once companions on some great cosmic dust making its way to this rock.”
“The sun burnt every day. It burnt time.”
