Image
This suffering, this unspeakable capacity to bleed and to know pain and to know annihilation, is what has to be overcome in this world if anyone is to reach God.
Anne Rice
Image
Was it fair to say I didn't know the full state of my soul?
Anne Rice
Image
The truth is most women are weak, be they mortal or immortal. But when they are strong, they are absolutely unpredictable.
Anne Rice
Image
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.
Anne Rice
Image
We’re going to die and not even know. We’ll never know, and all this meaninglessness will just go on and on and on. And we won’t any longer be witnesses to it. We won’t have even that little bit of power to give meaning to it in our minds. We’ll just be gone, dead, dead, dead, without ever knowing!
Anne Rice
Image
I have to move away from organized religion. The toxic confusion and anger I was feeling in church had become too great.
Anne Rice
Image
I don't believe in hell. The idea that a supreme being would make hell is ridiculous. An eternity of pain that results in no learning, reformation or rebirth is a nauseating idea. It's one of the reasons I left Christianity. I simply could not accept that version of God.

I love the one who punishes me well.
Anne Rice
Image
There are too many other inexplicable things around us--horrors, threats, mysteries that draw you in and then inevitably disenchant you. Back to the predictable and humdrum. The prince is never going to come, everybody knows that and maybe Sleeping Beauty's dead.
Anne Rice
Image
I was particularly stunned by the casting of Cruise, who is no more my Vampire Lestat than Edward G. Robinson is Rhett Butler.
Anne Rice
Image
The finest thing under the sun and moon is the human soul. I marvel at the small miracles of kindness that pass between humans, I marvel at the growth of conscience, at the persistence of reason in the face of all superstition or despair. I marvel at human endurance.
Anne Rice
Image
It's not so, I said. And how long do you think it will sustain you, feeling and seeing and touching and tasting, if there is no love? No one with you?
Anne Rice
Image
Do we have to confess our loves to everyone? asked Thorne softly. Can we not keep some secrets?
Anne Rice
Image
Being liberated means reading what you want to read, and fantasizing about what you want to fantasize about.
Anne Rice
Image
My heart right now is totally connected to a book called The Servant of the Bones, which is not in any way connected with vampires or witches. It's about a new hero, a ghost, who really doesn't particularly like the job that he's been given. I'm in love with this hero and in love with his dilemma.

I'm always looking, and I'm always asking questions.

Hell's Bells ringing, my secret music.

The prince is never going to come. Everyone knows that and maybe sleeping beauty's dead.
Anne Rice
Image
You make me miserable. You really do, I want you to know that. Much as I love you, much as I need you, much as I can't exist without you, you make me miserable.
Anne Rice
Image
It was as if this night were only one of thousands of nights, world without end, night curving into night to make a great arching line of which I couldn’t see the end, a night in which I roamed alone under cold, mindless stars.
