How we cite our quotes: (Part.Paragraph)
Quote #1
"I can't tell you exactly, any more than I could tell you exactly what is the experience of sex if you have never had it." (1.82)
Perhaps this explains why the boy still wants to be a vampire, even after hearing Louis's story. There will always be a difference between even the best fiction and reality. You cannot truly understand something until you've experienced it yourself.
Quote #2
"How pathetic it is to describe these things which can't truly be described." (1.96)
This is a strange statement, because if Louis actually believed this, we wouldn't have a book. That is what Interview with the Vampire is: a book that tries to describe things that can't truly be described. Does trying to discover this knowledge make a person pathetic?
