Quotes
- “He had the illusion, he said, of getting perilously close to the innermost secrets of the universe and finding they were rotten and evil and sardonic.”
- “I’ll have to learn to snowshoe. I had my first lesson this morning and cut a ludicrous figure. I’ll be virtually a prisoner until I learn my way around. But any price is worth paying to get away from the thought-destroying din and soul-killing routine of the city!”
- “There are vampires and vampires, and not all of them suck blood.”
- “That’s what everybody’s been looking for since the Year One—something a little more than sex.”
- “There are vampires and vampires, and the ones that suck blood aren’t the worst.”
- “I thought of how people are like planets—lonely little forts of mind with immense black distance barring them off from each other.”
