“I had to find Louis. I had to talk to him. In fact, after reading his account of things, I ached for him, ached for his romantic illusions, and even his dishonesty. I ached even for his gentlemanly malice and his physical presence, the deceptively soft sound of his voice.
Of course I hated him for the lies he told about me. But the love was far greater than the hate. He had shared the dark and romantic years of the nineteenth century with me, he was my companion as no other immortal had ever been.”

- Suffit-il de manquer la messe un dimanche, ou de mâcher l'hostie de la communion, de voler une miche de pain, ou de séduire la femme de son voisin ?
- Non, ai-je répondu en secouant la tête, non. - -- Mais s'il n'y a pas d'hierarchie dans le mal, alors un seul péché suffit. C'est bien ce que vous dites, non ? Que Dieu existe, et...
- je ne sais pas si Dieu existe. Et pour ceux que j'en ai vus, je dirais qu'il n'existe pas.

- C'est faux. Car si Dieu n'existe pas, cela signifie que nous sommes les créatures les plus douées de conscience de tout l'univers. Nous seuls comprenons le passage du temps et la valeur de chaque minute d'une vie humaine. Et le mal, le mal véritable, s'est doté d'une seule vie humaine. Qu'un homme meure demain, après-demain, ou plus tard encore, cela ne change rien. Car si Dieu n'existe pas, alors cette vie, la moindre des secondes qui la compose, représente tout ce que nous possédons.”

"He thought it a very simple request. He said only he wondered why I had waited so long.”

“And who else would show us a particle of love, a particle of compassion or mercy? Who else, knowing us as we know each other, could do anything but destroy us? Yet we can love each other.”
