Anne Rice
Image
It seems an insult to the night to speak of purpose and intent, when this common moment is so brimming full of blessed design tranquility. All things follow their course.
Anne Rice

I congratulate myself on not having arrived into the world until the present time. This age suits my taste.
Anne Rice
