More quotes by Anne Rice
But don't you see, all human decisions are made like this. Do you think the mother knows what will happen to the child in her womb? Dear God, we are lost, I tell you. What does it matter if you give it to me and it's wrong! There is no wrong! There is only desperation, and I would have it! I want to live forever with you.
Anne Rice
I’d thought I knew what beauty was in women but she’d surpassed all the language I had for it.
Anne Rice
But I still did not realize how mad she was, and how accustomed to dreaming and that she would not cry out for reality, rather would feed reality to her dreams, a demon elf feeding her spinning wheel with the reeds of the world so she might make her own weblike universe.
Anne Rice
The spirit who inhabits her animates us all. Destroy the host, you destroy the power. The young die first the old wither slowly the eldest perhaps would go last. But she is the Queen of the Damned, and the Damned can't live without her.
Anne Rice
To write something, you have to risk making a fool of yourself.
Anne Rice
Oh, the lies that I have told myself and others. I knew it yet I didn't know.
Anne Rice
Do you know what it means to be loved by Death?... Do you know what it means to have Death know your name?
Anne Rice
I thought The Shining was just absolutely wonderful. Stephen King reaches all kinds of people. In the beginning he was just dismissed out of hand, which was terrible.
Anne Rice
Everyone is a potential naked slave to you once you become a trainer.
Anne Rice
Obviously, a writer can't know everything about what she writes. It's impossible.
Anne Rice
Would that death were like this. Would that one would sleep and sleep and sleep forever.
Anne Rice
Without memory there can be no insight. Without love, there can be no appreciation.
Anne Rice
None of us really changes over time. We only become more fully what we are.
Anne Rice
as they die, the ones we love, we lose our witnesses, our watchers, those who know and understand the tiny little meaningless patterns, those words drawn in water with a stick. And there is nothing left but the endless flow.
Anne Rice
When I'm writing, the darkness is always there. I go where the pain is.
Anne Rice
No matter how long we exist, we have our memories. Points in time which time itself cannot erase. Suffering may distort my backward glances, but even to suffering, some memories will yield nothing of their beauty or their splendor. Rather they remain as hard as gems.
Anne Rice
We are not damned. We never were. Who under the sun has the right to damn any living breathing creature?
Anne Rice
I broke with my religion in college.
Anne Rice
Oh Lestat, you deserved everything that's ever happened to you. You better not die. You might actually go to hell.
Anne Rice
Despair was so familiar to me it could be banished by the sight of a beautiful mannikin in the window. It could be dispelled by the spectacle of lights surrounding a tower. It could be lifted by the great ghostly shape of St. Patrick's coming into view. And then despair would come again.
Anne Rice
