More quotes by Anne Rice
A perfect world or a world destroyed, one or the other- someday will come the end of 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

Anne Rice
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
When I write something, every word of it is meant. I can't say it enough.
Anne Rice
And he would listen, making only a few comments, always sympathetic, so that when I left him I had the distinct impression he had solved everything for me.
Anne Rice
None of us really changes over time. We only become more fully what we are.
Anne Rice
Memnoch the Devil happen to be my favorite of all The Vampire Chronicles.
Anne Rice
You're a perfect devil, Lestat! he was saying. That's what you are! You are the devil himself!
Anne Rice
Should we put out the light? And then put out the light. But once put out thy light, I cannot give it vital breath again. It needs must wither.
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
The one thing you share with every mortal is death.
Anne Rice
