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.

Image
Don't bend don't water it down don't try to make it logical don't edit your own soul according to the fashion. Rather, follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly. Only if you do that can you hope to make the reader feel every particle of what you, the writer, have known and feel compelled to share.---Forward to Kafka's Short stories

Dickens is a very underrated writer at the moment. Everyone in his time admired him but I think right now he's not spoken of enough.
Anne Rice
Image
It was over now, and the meaningless world was tolerable and need not be explained. And never would it be, and how foolish I had ever been to think so.
Anne Rice
Image
Sometimes dreams show me that my writing should go deeper. Dreams have not so much changed my work as deepened it.
Anne Rice
Image
I promised that from now on I would write only for the Lord.

Go where the pain is, go where the pleasure is.
Anne Rice
Image
when we are weary, we speak lovingly of dreams as if they embodied our true deisres-What we WOULD have when that which we DO have so sorely disappoints us

I was a newborn vampire, weeping at the beauty of the night.

I can't get very far away from Christianity, I can't get very far away from the angels and the saints. I work them in always, in some way.

It is not man who is the enemy of the human species. It is the irrational it is the spiritual when it is divorced from the material from the lesson in one beating heart or one bleeding vein.
