The vampires had never made it. They weren't sociable, even amongst themselves; they didn't think as a species; they were unpleasantly weird; and they sure as hell didn't have their own food shops.

So now it was dawning on some of the brighter ones that the only way people would accept vampires was if they stopped being vampires. That was a high price to pay for social acceptability, but perhaps not so high as the one that involved having your head cut off and your ashes scattered on the river.

No comments, you can all guess why I liked the quote. Though not as much as the one that runs:

Well, since it's submersive in a marine environment, I decided to call it the "Going-Under-The-Water-Safely-Device".

But I probably misquoted, I don't have the book in front of me.
