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.”
