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

Like all strong people, she suffered always a measure of loneliness she was a marginal outsider, a secret infidel of a certain sort.
Anne Rice
Image
Very few beings really seek knowledge in this world. Mortal or immortal, few really ASK. On the contrary, they try to wring from the unknown the answers they have already shaped in their own minds.
Anne Rice
Image
But all morality is of necessity shaped by context. I'm not talking relativism, no. To ignore the context of a decision is in fact immoral.
Anne Rice

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.

The vampire is an outsider. He's the perfect metaphor for those things. He's someone who looks human and sounds human, but is not human, so he's always on the margins.

You are alone when something like this happens. Doesn't matter how many people love you and want to help you. You are alone. When Marchent died, she was alone.

Cities have distinct personalities. It's a matter of knowing it.
Anne Rice

I'm hoping what all sentient beings hope ... that somehow I'm part of something larger than myself, in which I play a role, an actual role that is somehow intended and meaningful.

I can’t help being a gorgeous fiend. It’s just the card I drew.
Anne Rice

I was typing away while everybody was dropping acid and smoking grass. I was known as my own square.

Suffering of sentient beings is like decay it fertilizes the growth of their souls.

Get thee behind me, tragedy.

There may be writing groups where people meet but it's occasional. You really do it all at your own computer or your own typewriter by yourself.

Perhaps this is the only real evil left.
Anne Rice

We need to stop fighting Christian against Christian. I have no time for anything but trying to love other people. That is a full-time job.

I read The Old Curiosity Shop before I began Blackwood Farm. I was amazed at the utter madness in that book.

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.
