A starving child is a frightful sight. A starving vampire, even worse.
Anne Rice
Image
It struck me, sharp and hard, that I had been given so many chances to save my soul that my entire life had been constructed around these chances! That was my nature - going from temptation to temptation, not to sin, but to be redeemed.

A singer can shatter glass with the proper high note, he said, but the simplest way to break glass is simply to drop it on the floor.
Anne Rice
Image
There's no way to cheat a sensualist like me, somebody who can die laughing for hours over the pattern of the carpet in a hotel lobby.

There may be writing groups where people meet but it's occasional. You really do it all at your own computer or your own typewriter by yourself.

Go where the pain is, go where the pleasure is.

My life's been too much of a self-created vocation. And there are times when I think I've done everything in the name of defiance.
Anne Rice
Image
I want to love all the children of God - Christian, Jew, Moslem, Hindu, Buddhist - everyone. I want to love gay Christians and straight Christians.
Anne Rice
Image
I was a newborn vampire, weeping at the beauty of the night.
Anne Rice
Image
There are too many other inexplicable things around us--horrors, threats, mysteries that draw you in and then inevitably disenchant you. Back to the predictable and humdrum. The prince is never going to come, everybody knows that and maybe Sleeping Beauty's dead.
Anne Rice
Image
For several long moments we remained locked together, and I think I covered her hair with small sacred kisses, her perfume crucifying me with memories.
Anne Rice
Image
Every moment must be first known and then savored.
Anne Rice
Image
For me, places have a tremendous impact. I fall in love with places. All of life seems different in different places.
Anne Rice
Image
I can't believe the world was created in six days. I do not take Genesis or Revelation literally. I AM OUT. I am alone. I am an outsider for Christ. I will study my Bible, and pray to God in private and alone. I have no other choice.
Anne Rice
Image
It seems an insult to the night to speak of purpose and intent, when this common moment is so brimming full of blessed design tranquility. All things follow their course.

Image
I thought The Shining was just absolutely wonderful. Stephen King reaches all kinds of people. In the beginning he was just dismissed out of hand, which was terrible.

Truth is a risky proposition. It's the nature of mediocre human beings to believe that lies are necessary, that they serve a purpose, that truth is subversive, that candor is dangerous, that the very scaffold of communal life is supported by lies.
