1 " And books, they offer one hope -- that a whole universe might open up from between the covers, and falling into that universe, one is saved. "
― Anne Rice , Blackwood Farm (The Vampire Chronicles, #9)
2 " Knowledge drifts in and out of my mind" , said Lestat with a little look of honest distress and a shake of his head. " I devour it and then I lose it and sometimes I can't reach for any knowledge that I ought to possess. I feel desolate, but then knowledge returns or I seek it out in a knew source." (...)" But you love books, then" , Aunt Queen was saying. I had to listen." Oh, yes," Lestat said. " Sometimes they're the only thing that keeps me alive." " What a thing to say at your age" , she laughed." No, but one can feel desperate at any age, don't you think? The young are eternally desperate," he said frankly. " And books, they offer one hope - that a whole universe might open up from between the covers, and falling into that universe, one is saved. "
3 " But you love books, then,” Aunt Queen was saying. I had to listen.“Oh, yes,” Lestat said. “Sometimes they are the only thing that keeps me alive.”“What a strange thing to say at your age,” she laughed.“No, but one can feel desperate at any age, don’t you think?

5 " New York City is finished," he said. " They can't keep order there, and you can't have business without order. It'll take a hundred years to sort things out and get it all going again." " What do you hear of the U.S. government? I said. " We don't have electricity an hour a month anymore and there's nothing on the air but the preachers anyway." " Well, I hear that this Harvey Albright pretends to be running things out of Minneapolis now. It was Chicago, but that may have gone by the boards. Congress hasn't met since twelve twenty-one." Ricketts said, using a common shorthand for the destruction of Washington a few days before Christmas some years back. " We're still fighting skirmishes with Mexico. The Everglades are drowning. Trade is becoming next to impossible, from everything I can tell, and business here is drying up. It all seems like a bad dream. The future sure isn't what it used to be, is it?" " We believe in the future, sir. Only it's not like the world we've left behind," Joseph said. " How's that?" " We're building our own New Jerusalem up the river. it's a world made by hand, now, one stone at a time, one board at a time, one hope at a time, one soul at a time. . . "
6 " Women always said he was warm. They snuggled with him in bed, grateful for the heat. A couple of his lovers even claimed that, when he was inside them, he heated them from the inside out.A pleasant flattery, perhaps, but one Hope would discover the truth of. For when she touched him, he did burn. "
