The world doesn't need any more mediocrity or hedged bets.
Anne Rice
Image
And I realized that I’d tolerated him this long because of self-doubt.
Anne Rice
Image
….it was a brave man’s fear. I knew what he meant. What must a brave general feel when he knows the battle has gone against him and nothing remains but death?
Anne Rice
Image
How could anyone love Him? What did you just tell me yourself about the world? Don't you see, everybody hates God now. It's not that God is dead in the twentieth century. It's that everybody hates Him! At least I think so.
Anne Rice
Image
When we love and want nothing but good for that person, it's one of the greatest gifts we possess.
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
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
I was in the black silence of a medieval street, and blindly I followed its sharp turns, comforted by the height of its narrow tenements, which seemed at any moment capable of falling together, closing this alleyway under indifferent stars like a seam.
Anne Rice
Image
I think to feel this happy is to be miserable, to feel this much satisfaction is to burn.
