More quotes by Anne Rice

Anne Rice
All my life,I've been afraid of things, as a child and a woman must be. I lied about it naturally. I fancied myself a witch and walked in dark streets to punish myself for my doubts. But I knew what it meant to be afraid.
Anne Rice

I love the world the Lord has created I love the mountains, the rivers, the valleys, the skies. I love the forests, the fields, the flowers. I love the mysteries of evolution and dna and the big bang. I want to know the majesties of the Lord's Creation. I cannot close my eyes to all this. I cannot turn away from science and scientific exploration.
Anne Rice

Anne Rice
I think to feel this happy is to be miserable, to feel this much satisfaction is to burn.
Anne Rice
A perfect world or a world destroyed, one or the other- someday will come the end of hell.
Anne Rice
Give me a man or woman who has read a thousand books and you give me an interesting companion. Give me a man or woman who has read perhaps three and you give me a very dangerous enemy indeed.
Anne Rice
I hear the birds singing. Listen. I hear them in their cage. The others-all our kind who know of her-they think of her as heartless, but she wasn't heartless. She was only aware of things which I didn't learn till so many decades had passed. She knew secrets that only suffering can teach.
Anne Rice
Thank God he killed the guy. Oh, now, wait a minute. What kind of a prayer was that!
Anne Rice
A starving child is a frightful sight. A starving vampire, even worse.
Anne Rice
The only power that exists is inside ourselves.
Anne Rice
God, why didn't you make us all dogs?
Anne Rice
I'm Gentleman Death in silk and lace, come to put out the candles. The canker in the heart of the rose.
Anne Rice
He had never expected death to be this quiet, this secretive, this easy.
Anne Rice
