Not really. Trent's basically just saying "people suck".
"A Beast I am, lest a Beast I become" is "The Riddle" from Vampire: the Masquerade, which more or less boils down to "You're a monster now, because you have to prey on humans and drink blood. But if you don't do that, because you're trying to be a good person, you'll eventually starve yourself, lose control, and go into a berserk frenzy where you almost certain kill multiple people in incredibly savage ways. So you either have to accept the paradox that being a good person requires you to be a bad person, or you have to kill yourself."
The Riddle is just saying "Stop whining, nut up, and be a vampire."
"Gaze not into the abyss" is what all variants boil down to. It's not as unique an idea as you seem to think.
