“Sheriff Jake Bonnel is a no-nonsense man. I agree that his ways are rather harsh, but I don't see that changing. He does not cotton to this new way...lawyers and laws protecting criminals. Before things began to change out here, we hung criminals in short order. Now we find this way and that to keep them alive. We made rights for outlaws when they should have lost all rights except due process of a fair trial. I'm a judge, and I wonder to myself now and then, what have we done? I fear we will one day have passed so many laws that it will be a crime to try the vilest of criminals.”

“Far from being freaks, the Hell's Angels are a logical product of the culture that now claims to be shocked at their existence. The generation represented by the editors of Time has lived so long in a world full of Celluloid outlaws hustling toothpaste and hair oil that it is no longer capable of confronting the real thing. For twenty years they have sat with their children and watched yesterday's outlaws raise hell with yesterday's world ... and now they are bringing up children who think Jesse James is a television character. This is the generation that went to war for Mom, God and Apple Butter, the American Way of Life. When they came back, they crowned Eisenhower and then retired to the giddy comfort of their TV parlors, to cultivate the subtleties of American history as seen by Hollywood.”

Lestat: Of course David: You do realize, that this is an absolutely magnificent body, don't you? I mean you aren't insensible to the fact that you've been deposited in a...a most impressive piece of young male flesh. Lestat: I looked it over well before the switch, remember? Why is it you don't want to.. David: You've been with a woman, haven't you? Lestat: I wish you hadn't read my mind. It's rude. Besides, what does that matter to you? David: A woman you loved. Lestat: I have always loved both men and women. David: That's a slightly different use of the word 'love.”
