Anne Rice
Amazing what the British do with language the nuances of politeness. The world's great diplomats, surely.
Anne Rice

Anne Rice
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
What I have always wanted more than revenge is to bring the other person to recognition of the pain they caused, so they essentially say, I will never do that again.
Anne Rice
In the chapel you prayed to be a saint and now I will make you a god.
Anne Rice
I think love can save the world. When we love, we completely recognize the value of the other.
Anne Rice
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
I wish we had more visible Christian and Catholic leaders who talked about love.
Anne Rice
Cities have distinct personalities. It's a matter of knowing it.
Anne Rice
Words. Borne on the ever swelling current of hatred, like flowers opening in the current, petals peeling back, then falling apart.
Anne Rice
Without memory there can be no insight. Without love, there can be no appreciation.
Anne Rice
