“If we are all going to have tragedies, if none of us can escape them, then surely we have to learn from them, we have to gain something. And we have to use what we have gained.

As long as they’ll let us.”

“You want me to be unselfish? A vampire is selfish. We kill so that we can survive, that is the ultimate selfishness.”

“Of our hurts we make monuments of survival. If we survive. ”
