Quote by Anne Rice Tale Of The Body Thief

“Lestat: You're very anxious to be out of these rooms, aren't you? Why don't we simply get into bed together? I don't understand. David: You're serious? 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.”

“I couldn’t remember being hugged like this. Like I was worth the effort. Like comforting me wasn’t an obligation the way it was with family. Like my tears weren’t an inconvenience or a childish tantrum. No one had ever embraced the parts of me I hated. The mess, the silence, the moods that came and went without warning. No one had ever looked at the disaster I was without walking away at the first opportunity. Even in the rare moments when I’d allowed someone else to see my tears, I hadn’t asked for the comfort I craved. I wanted to hide, but the truth was, I needed him right now. My body was limp against his, as if it’d already decided that this was it, this was the pillow that would soften my fall.”

“Em sua busca por uma ressignificação do mal fora do Cristianismo, Lestat não tenta, entretanto, posicionar-se como sendo necessariamente o oposto dele. Afinal, como afirma Rice, ainda que Lestat “seja um símbolo de formas de liberdade e domínio, eu nunca perco de vista o mal que tem em si”. Esse mal em si, todavia, não o limita ou tampouco o define; ele é reconhecido, aceito e passa a integrar um mosaico complexo que compõe a identidade em transfiguração do “vampiro deste tempo”.”
