In the name of Christ, I quit Christianity.

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.

But don't you see, all human decisions are made like this. Do you think the mother knows what will happen to the child in her womb? Dear God, we are lost, I tell you. What does it matter if you give it to me and it's wrong! There is no wrong! There is only desperation, and I would have it! I want to live forever with you.

I do not allow fan-fiction. The characters are copyrighted. It upsets me terribly to even think about fan-fiction with my characters. I advise my readers to write your own original stories with your own characters. It is absolutely essential that you respect my wishes.

There was no point in waiting until the next world. You had to do everything now, every kind of sin.
Anne Rice
Image
How shameful. How predictable! How insipid. And how sweet.

And I loved this moment for all it's pain...We seemed for a moment like two parts of the same thing.

Louis: You see that old woman? That will never happen to you. You will never grow old, and you will never die. Claudia: And it means something else too, doesn't it? I shall never ever grow up.

In the very depths of Hell, do not demons love one another?
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.

The earth here is beautiful. And it still belongs to the dead.
Anne Rice
Image
Our language needs endless synonyms for beautiful the eyes could see what the tongue cannot possibly describe.
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.
