What did it matter what he did? Life would be equally purposeless no matter what his decision was. - Richard Matheson

But are his needs any more shocking than the needs of other animals and men? Are his deeds more outrageous than the deeds of the parent who drained the spirit from his child? The vampire may foster quickened heartbeats and levitated hair. But is he worse than the parent who gave to society a neurotic child who became a politician?

"Death is a fascinating lure to men who can stand aside and watch it operate on someone else. (from "The Conqueror")"

Chris:I forgive you.
Annie: For killing my children and my sweet husband?
Chris: For being so wonderful a guy would choose hell over heaven just to be around you.
