We have such a terrible, terrible misconception of science. We think it involves the definite, the precise, the known it is a horrid series of gates to an unknown as vast of the universe which means endless.
Anne Rice

I saw finally the futility of all these gestures, that witchcraft is but a matter of focus-that one cann apply one's fierce and immeasurable energies to an act of choice.

It's so easy to persecute an older, overweight, unwise, crude, ignorant woman who may very well be a good person at heart who has achieved a great deal in her life.

Sleep is your friend. Dreams are your unwelcome guests.
Anne Rice
Image
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 was influenced by the medieval theological beliefs when I presented Satan in Jesus' dream as unable to figure out who or what Jesus is, and unable to see the future.
Anne Rice
Image
Suffering of sentient beings is like decay it fertilizes the growth of their souls.
Anne Rice
Image
Evil is a point of view.
Anne Rice
Image
To really ask is to open the door to the whirlwind. The answer may annihilate the question and the questioner.

Come on, say it again. I'm a perfect devil. Tell me how bad I am. It makes me feel so good!
