We need to stop fighting Christian against Christian. I have no time for anything but trying to love other people. That is a full-time job.

When I'm writing, the darkness is always there. I go where the pain is.
Anne Rice
Image
And what constitutes evil, real evil, is the taking of a single human life. Whether a man would die tomorrow or the day after or eventually... it doesn't matter. Because if God does not exist, then life... every second of it... Is all we have.
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.
Anne Rice
Image
We shall live even in this state of living death, we shall love, we shall feel, we shall defy all who would judge and destroy us.

Yes, I know, And I love to hear you say it, Louis. I need to hear you say it. I don't think anyone will ever say it quite like you do. Come on, say it again. I'm a perfect devil. Tell me how bad I am. It makes me feel so good!

Whatever will happen will happen, but choose your companions with care. Choose them because you like to look at them and you like the sound of their voices, and they have profound secrets in them that you wish to know. In other words, choose them because you love them. Otherwise you will not be able to bear their company for very long.

I had many wonderful experiences, received beautiful letters, and my Christian books received substantive and thoughtful reviews. But there was always argument, dispute, questions as to what I really believed, lectures from here and there on the real truth, etc.
Anne Rice
Image
It was as if this night were only one of thousands of nights, world without end, night curving into night to make a great arching line of which I couldn’t see the end, a night in which I roamed alone under cold, mindless stars.
Anne Rice
Image
A perfect world or a world destroyed, one or the other- someday will come the end of hell.
Anne Rice
Image
In the name of Christ, I quit Christianity.
Anne Rice

I promised that from now on I would write only for the Lord.

Why does shame and self-loathing become cruelty to the innocent ?
Anne Rice

I gave up on the big screen. The Witching Hour was at Warner Bros. for 10 years and it just didn't work out.
Anne Rice
Image
The vampire is an outsider. He's the perfect metaphor for those things. He's someone who looks human and sounds human, but is not human, so he's always on the margins.
Anne Rice
Image
And I loved this moment for all it's pain...We seemed for a moment like two parts of the same thing.
Anne Rice

an intoxication with forbidden knowledge in which the natural things become unimportant.

I will be the Vampire Lestat for all to see. A symbol, a freak of nature - something loved, something despised all of those things. I tell you I can't give it up. I can't miss. And quite frankly I am not in the least afraid. - Lestat, The Vampire Lestat, p. 532
