Get thee behind me, tragedy.

Come on, say it again. I'm a perfect devil. Tell me how bad I am. It makes me feel so good!

Don't be a fool for the Devil, darling.

Claudia... you've been a very very naughty little girl.

Oh Lestat, you deserved everything that's ever happened to you. You better not die. You might actually go to hell.

Success and profitability are outcomes of focusing on customers and employees, not objectives.

We all need the living green or we'll shrivel up inside. To make the modern city livable is the task of our times.
