Could liquid silicon dioxide exist on the surface of venus?

I've heard that the atmospheric pressure on venus is 90 times that of earth, but I don't know the melting point of $SiO_2$ at 90 atm nor at what temperature its vapor pressure hits 90 atm. Basically I'm wondering how ridiculous it would be to say that life on venus exists with a solvent of silicon dioxide.
