- Armand: Don't you want to lose it?
- Louis: Why? So you can have that too? The heart that mourns her, her that you burnt to a cinder.
- Armand: Louis, I swear that I...

- Louis: We belong in hell.
- Lestat: And what if there is no hell, or they don't want us there? Ever think of that?
- Louis: But there was a hell, and no matter where we moved to, I...” (continue)(continue reading)“That morning I was not yet a vampire, and I saw my last sunrise.

And then I said farewell to sunlight, and set out to become what I became.”
