A lady has every right to defend herself against unsought advances. And creatures of the night.

It's one thing to shoot a man, quite another to cast aspersions upon his lovemaking skills.

As all-consuming as a young girl's fancies were ... a woman's desires could be twice as dangerous.

Love does nothing but make you weak! It turns you into an object of pity and derision--a mewling pathetic creature no more fit to live than a worm squirming on the pavement after a hard summer rain.

Vampires only destroy and kill so they can survive. Mortals do it for the sheer giddy pleasure of it.
