What I like about vampires is what I like about everything I want to write about, the depths and heights, the pain and joy. Life.

You seek the heights of manhood when you seek the depths of God.

I critique market-based medicine not because I haven't seen its heights but because I've seen its depths.

I feel as though I have lived many lives, experienced the heights and depths of each and like the waves of the ocean, never known rest. Throughout the years, I have looked always for the unusual, for the wonderful, for the mysteries at the heart of life.

Those who can soar to the highest heights can also plunge to the deepest depths, and the natures which enjoy most keenly are those which also suffer most sharply

Usually the characters lead, but sometimes you have such a strong theme that... they won't let you.
