You're a perfect devil, Lestat! he was saying. That's what you are! You are the devil himself!
Anne Rice
Image
I was in the black silence of a medieval street, and blindly I followed its sharp turns, comforted by the height of its narrow tenements, which seemed at any moment capable of falling together, closing this alleyway under indifferent stars like a seam.
Anne Rice
Image
Maybe that's what Hell is. You go mad. And all your demons come and get you just as fast as you can think them up.
Anne Rice
Image
The most difficult novel I have had to write in terms of just getting it done was The Vampire Lestat. It took a year to write.

Image
The world changes, we do not, therein lies the irony that kills us.
Anne Rice
Image
And this lesson about mortal peace of mind I never forgot. Even if a ghost is ripping a house to pieces, throwing in pans all over, pouring water of pillows, making clocks chime at all hours, mortal will accept almost any natural explanation offered, no matter how absurd, rather than the obvious supernatural one, for what is going on.

How could anyone love Him? What did you just tell me yourself about the world? Don't you see, everybody hates God now. It's not that God is dead in the twentieth century. It's that everybody hates Him! At least I think so.

Evil is just a point of view

How shameful. How predictable! How insipid. And how sweet.

Image
I'm going to keep on dealing with the supernatural in a lot of ways.
Anne Rice
Image
That was my nature - going from temptation after temptation, not to sin, but to be redeemed.
Anne Rice
Image
…being an atheist required discipline very like that of being Catholic. One could never yield to the idea of a supernatural authority, no matter how often one might be tempted. To think that a personal God had made the world was to yield to a demonic and superstitious and destructive belief.
Anne Rice
Image
Say what you will to the force that governs the universe. Perhaps we'll call it into being, and it will yet love us as we love it.
Anne Rice
Image
When we talk about our lives, long or short, brief and tragic or enduring beyond comprehension, we impose a continuity on them, and that continuity is a lie.
Anne Rice
Image
I am the Vampire Lestat. I'm immortal more or less. The light of the sun, the sustained heat of an intense fire-these things might destroy me. But then again, they might not.
Anne Rice
Image
Wasn't it his right to listen to opera, read poetry and adventure novels, go to Europe every couple of months for some reason or another, and drive his Porsche over the speed limit until he found out who he was?
Anne Rice
Image
And when a strong man is sweet, even Goddesses look down from Mount Olympus.
Anne Rice
Image
The truth is most women are weak, be they mortal or immortal. But when they are strong, they are absolutely unpredictable.

Our language needs endless synonyms for beautiful the eyes could see what the tongue cannot possibly describe.
