Failure Quote by Anne Rice
““You aren’t enjoying my misery, are you?” I admitted with a little sigh of defeat. “No, of course not,” Armand said, “only, as usual, you don’t really seem miserable. You’re on the verge of an adventure, and just a little more cautious this time than when you let that mortal run off with your body and you took his.” “No, not more cautious. Terrified. I think this creature, Memnoch, is the Devil.””
