Our language needs endless synonyms for beautiful the eyes could see what the tongue cannot possibly describe.
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
Oh, but when love is reached through suffering, it has a power it can never gain through innocence.
Anne Rice

Whatever will happen will happen, but choose your companions with care. Choose them because you like to look at them and you like the sound of their voices, and they have profound secrets in them that you wish to know. In other words, choose them because you love them. Otherwise you will not be able to bear their company for very long.

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 know nothing, because I know too much, and understand not nearly enough and never will.
Anne Rice
Image
I am the Vampire Lestat. I'm immortal more or less. The light of the sun, the sustained heat of an intense fire-these things might destroy me. But then again, they might not.
Anne Rice
Image
One moment the world is as it is. The next, it is something entirely different. Something it has never been before.
Anne Rice
Image
I no longer represent any organized religion. I'm not Catholic. I'm not Christian. I'm saying this because I have to be an outsider for Christ.
Anne Rice
Image
When I'm writing, the darkness is always there. I go where the pain is.

…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.

I had wanted to say that my song was far too painful to sing.

Maybe a new religion will rise now. Maybe without it, man will crumble in cynicism and selfishness because he really needs his gods.
