• How completely and totally I loved her [Akasha], my shimmering Egyptian goddess. How I believed that she belonged to me.

• A vision took hold of me. I saw myself lying in the arms of a woman, a beautiful Egyptian woman with black hair. It was Akasha, this woman, and she comforted me, she told me to sleep, and that nothing could hurt me, not even thirst, because I had drunk her blood. I was not like other blood drinkers. I could starve and then rise again. [...] At last a divine blackness settled over my mind and no thoughts whatsoever could penetrate. I knew that Akasha still held me because I could feel her arms around me and feel her lips against my cheek.

• And so you found a Roman in the prime of his life, happy and rich, and dragged him off against his will. Were there no men among you fit and right for your own religion? Why come to me with your wretched beliefs?

• It occurred to me that I could destroy him [Mael] by ripping his head from his body, and by keeping possession of his head and then placing it somewhere in my garden where the sun would inevitably find it and burn it black.

• I know history, I read it as others read their Bibles, and I will not be satisfied until I have unearthed all stories that are written and knowable, and cracked the codes of all cultures that have left me any tantalizing evidence that I may pry loose from earth or stone or papyrus or clay. But I was wrong in my optimism, I was ignorant as I accused others of being, and refusing to see the very horrors that surrounded me, all the worse in this century, this reasonable century, than ever before in the world. [...] It's horrors, horrors upon horrors, as it always was, and I can pretend no longer. [...] I have no faith, I have no optimism, I have no firm conviction in the ways of reason or ethics.

• The world is only getting better with each century, civilization becomes more enamored with justice, ordinary men make greater strides towards sharing the wealth which was one the booty of the powerful, and art benefits by every increase in freedom, becoming ever more imaginative and ever more beautiful.

• Pretend, and grow strong with each pretense. Rather, draw close and be loving and love, without the luxury of complete honesty. For love can bridge all.

• This is the only sun you will ever seen again. But a millennium of nights will be yours to see light as no mortal has ever seen it, to snatch from the distant stars, as if you were Prometheus, an endless illumination in which to understand all things.

• The guardians of the dead are powerfully indifferent. They speak of love, but not of centuries of blundering ignorance. What stars are these that sing so beautifully when all the world is languishing in dissonance?
