->''"''Behind the Candelabra'' could almost be a vampire story. Liberace/[[DoNotCallMePaul Lee]] is something of an ageless figure, rendered immortal by a maxed-out level of fame, and veiled beneath wigs and plastic surgery. Creator/MattDamon’s Scott, meanwhile, is hand-plucked from normality into Lee’s world, and enormous mansion, until he’s eventually replaced by a younger model, the way his predecessor was, and released back into the wild, irrevocably changed into what Lee made him. So far, so Vlad."''

->''"[[KlausKinski Kinski]] recognizes that the true terror of {{Nosferatu}} lies in his weakness, his slavery to his perverse condition. Kinski’s vampire whines and shuffles and writhes, sickly and listless, until his appetites get the better of him and drive him into sudden fits of violently predatory, carnal, pathetic bloodsucking. It’s the gentle neighborhood junkie who nods at you politely for two months and suddenly, with thick greasy sweat and trembling hands, puts an ice pick to your neck and apologizes as he takes your wallet. "''

->''"Ninten can flee to [[SugarBowl Magicant]] whenever he's lost, low on HP, or in over his head. Once the Onyx Hook is in his possession, Magicant [[WarpWhistle is only just a couple of button presses away]]. You can come and go as often as you like, and stay for as long as you please. ...Retreating to Magicant has a very practical drawback: it comes at a considerable cost in ''time''. Although you can enter Magicant from almost any location at almost any moment, there is only one way out, and it always drops you out in Rural America at the same spot. The trip from Magicant is always tougher and ''much'' longer than the trip ''to'' Magicant − especially when you have to hike three towns over to get back to where you were."''

->''"[Authors] aren't doing it so that your English teachers have something to torture you with. They're doing it, at least if they're doing it on purpose, so that the story can have a bigger and better life in your mind. But for the record, the question of whether or not they're doing it on purpose is NOT A VERY INTERESTING QUESTION.... Whether an author intended a symbolic resonance in their work is irrelevant.... The book does not exist for the benefit of the author. The book exists for the benefit of you.''"
