Quote

The spirit who inhabits her animates us all. Destroy the host, you destroy the power. The young die first the old wither slowly the eldest perhaps would go last. But she is the Queen of the Damned, and the Damned can't live without her.

I tell you, we would be hard put to determine what is more evil -- religion or the pure idea. The intervention of the supernatural or the elegant abstract solution! Both have bathed this earth in suffering both have brought the human race literally and figuratively to its knees.
