“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”.”

“De um lado, temos a figura do vampiro pré-riceano como a própria personificação de um Outro que é estrangeiro, alheio à nós, aos nossos costumes e valores e que, consequentemente, era construído como perigoso, antagônico, maléfico. Do outro, temos Lestat, que já se viu nesses mesmos lugares e obstinou-se a reconstruir-se para além deles.”

“Words I Should Have Told My Mother A tribute to my beloved Mother I love you for being Wonderful Colourful Powerful Prayerful Beautiful Cheerful Kind Wise Lovely Loving Noble Confident Excellent Perfect Patient Resilient Significant A warrior And for being great! These are the words I should have told my loving Mother!”

“My Loving Mother I keep thinking of you out of nowhere I continue talking about you everywhere When days go by, when I am anywhere I wish you would appear from somewhere Though I know you have gone elsewhere Your departure left me feeling empty My heart has been heavy For I have been lonely I hold your memories closely Because you made life a bit cosy Things are not the same, without you in this world I miss the moments of prayer we shared The guidance from your end Precept upon precept Losing you is something hard to accept The silent wishes you had for me The stories you told about your folks The wonderful chats we used to have It is all gone, gone for good Just like you did Yet I appreciate That you have been great And no one can ever take Your special place My loving Mother”

“I Wish My Mother Was Here A special wish for Mother’s Day I wish my Mother was here So I could tell her What it means to me That she saved my life I wish my Mother was here So I could pat her on the shoulder To appreciate her kindness And all the love she has shown me I wish my Mother was here So, I would let her realize That I am grateful To be born of a powerful woman like her I wish my Mother was here So, I could make her aware Of the exceptional job she has done By raising me up I wish my Mother was here So, I could thank her For all the sacrifices she made Because she has been nothing but the best I wish my Mother was here!”
