"Pythagoras, slaughtered. Galileo, imprisoned. Copernicus, ridiculed. Poor old Newton pushed into secrecy and alchemy. Tesla, destroyed. His beautiful possibilities completely ignored. And they're still bitching about Darwin. Still. So much for the scientists, Louis. But then, everyone sees themself as one these days. Even Lestat, I am sure."
"Science fiction has made the dullest of minds confident in the most lofty experimental endeavors. Frankenstein. Jurassic Park. Even Star Wars. Engrained so profoundly in our cultural vocabulary, we no longer question where the science ends and the fiction begins.”
A pause. A smirk.
“Lestat doesn’t think himself a scientist— he thinks himself a god. Always has.”
