Quote #7
"'[Louis], that knowledge was our birthright, and [Lestat] deprived us.'" (2.25)
One way Lestat holds power over Louis and Claudia is by withholding information from them. This kind of backfires. In fact, Louis and Claudia put the fire in backfire when they burn Lestat, fed up with him. What does this tell us about the power of knowledge and information?
Quote #8
"'Where do these vampires come from!'" (2.126)
Louis and Claudia go to Eastern Europe to find information about where they came from. In Eastern Europe, they find a creepy branch of the vampire family tree: the horrific Revenants. This knowledge doesn't help them in any way (or does it?). It just muddies the waters further.
Quote #9
"'Love's blinded you, your fascination with his knowledge, his power.'" (3.248)
One of the main reasons why Louis is attracted to Armand is that he's a veritable font of knowledge. Unfortunately, Armand turns out to be just as manipulative as Lestat is. And since he's not as brainless as Lestat can be, that makes him considerably more dangerous to Louis.
