When I write something, every word of it is meant. I can't say it enough.
Anne Rice
Image
The world doesn't need any more mediocrity or hedged bets.
Anne Rice
Image
an intoxication with forbidden knowledge in which the natural things become unimportant.

How shameful. How predictable! How insipid. And how sweet.
Anne Rice

…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.
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.

Writers write about what obsesses them. You draw those cards. I lost my mother when I was 14. My daughter died at the age of 6. I lost my faith as a Catholic. When I'm writing, the darkness is always there. I go where the pain is.

Revenge is the concern of those who are at some point or other beaten. I am not beaten, I told myself. No, not beaten. And victory is far more interesting to contemplate than revenge.
Anne Rice
Image
Old truths and ancient magic, revolution and invention, all conspire to distract us from the passion that in one way or another defeats us all.
Anne Rice
Image
You were the vampire in my dream. My perfect one.
Anne Rice
Image
I'm usually working on my own mythology, my own realm of created characters. Stories in mythology inspire me, though I may not be conscious of it.
Anne Rice
Image
What if I could give you your life back pluck out the pain and give you a world of unimaginable beauty that would be for all time.
Anne Rice
Image
Protect your voice and your vision. If going on the Internet and reading Internet reviews is bad for you, don’t do it. … Do what gets you to write and not what blocks you. … Don’t take any guff off anybody.
Anne Rice
Image
The prince is never going to come. Everyone knows that and maybe sleeping beauty's dead.
Anne Rice
Image
I don't believe in anything and that makes me stronger than you think
Anne Rice
Image
Dear God, help me. Do not forget me on this tiny cinder lost in a galaxy that is lost–a heart no bigger than a speck of dust beating, beating against death, against meaninglessness, against guilt, against sorrow.
Anne Rice
Image
As for oblivion, well, we can wait a little while for that.
Anne Rice
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.
