Evil is just a point of view

A perfectly evil Devil makes even less sense than a perfect God.

He was so excited by this little bit of intelligence that he might have gone off, perplexed, pondering for a long time. It was like reading a wonderful sentence in a book, and not being able to continue because so many possibilities were crowding his mind.

I can't keep up with Stephen King's output.

I enjoy the Web site a lot and I like being able to talk to my readers. I've always had a very close relationship with them.

I'm definitely more influenced by European writers than I am by American writers, there's no doubt about that.

You know nothing... And suppose the vampire who made you knew nothing, and the vampire who made that vampire knew nothing, and the vampire before him knew nothing, and so it goes back and back, nothing proceeding from nothing, until there is nothing! And we must live with the knowledge that there is no knowledge.

In the spring of 1988, I returned to New Orleans, and as soon as I smelled the air, I knew I was home. It was rich, almost sweet, like the scent of jasmine and roses around our old courtyard. I walked the streets, savoring that long lost perfume.

And this lesson about mortal peace of mind I never forgot. Even if a ghost is ripping a house to pieces, throwing in pans all over, pouring water of pillows, making clocks chime at all hours, mortal will accept almost any natural explanation offered, no matter how absurd, rather than the obvious supernatural one, for what is going on.

Sleep is your friend. Dreams are your unwelcome guests.
Anne Rice

Oh Lestat, you deserved everything that's ever happened to you. You better not die. You might actually go to hell.

…being an atheist required discipline very like that of being Catholic. One could never yield to the idea of a supernatural authority, no matter how often one might be tempted. To think that a personal God had made the world was to yield to a demonic and superstitious and destructive belief.

Let the spirits witness: for theirs is the knowledge of the future - both what it would be, and what I will: You are the Queen of the Damned, that's what you are! Evil is your only destiny. But at your greatest hour, it is I who will defeat you. Look well on my face. It is I who will bring you down.

I do not read the ancient languages, but I am beginning to study Greek.

Vampires always order hot drinks. They aren't going to drink them but they can feel the warmth and smell them if they're hot, and that is so good.

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