More quotes by 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
Louis: You see that old woman? That will never happen to you. You will never grow old, and you will never die. Claudia: And it means something else too, doesn't it? I shall never ever grow up.
Anne Rice
Oh, but when love is reached through suffering, it has a power it can never gain through innocence.
Anne Rice
When you find out there is no ultimate good and evil in which you can place your faith, the world does not fall apart at the seams. It simply means that every decision is more difficult, more critical, because you are creating the good and evil yourself and they are very real.
Anne Rice
You reach deep down and bring up what feels absolutely authentic to you as you move along with the book, but you don't know everything about it. You can't.

Anne Rice
I can't believe the world was created in six days. I do not take Genesis or Revelation literally. I AM OUT. I am alone. I am an outsider for Christ. I will study my Bible, and pray to God in private and alone. I have no other choice.
Anne Rice
Who knew that better than I, who had presided over the death of my own body, seeing all I called human wither and die only to form an unbreakable chain which held me fast to this world yet made me forever its exile, a specter with a beating heart?
Anne Rice
All my life,I've been afraid of things, as a child and a woman must be. I lied about it naturally. I fancied myself a witch and walked in dark streets to punish myself for my doubts. But I knew what it meant to be afraid.
Anne Rice
Curses of vanished elders echoed down on me too pretty, too soft, too pale, eyes far too full of the Devil, ah, that devilish smile
Anne Rice
What I did was take the Jesus of the Gospels, the Son of God, the Son of the Virgin Mary, and sought to make Him utterly believable, a vital breathing character.
Anne Rice
I was a newborn vampire, weeping at the beauty of the night.
Anne Rice
I would die rather than live without you. I would die the same way he died. I can't bear you to look at me the way you did. I cannot bear it if you do not love me! -Claudia.
Anne Rice
I am certain a great many believers and bible readers do believe in social justice.
Anne Rice
Ah, come now. I look like an angel, but I'm not. The old rules of nature encompass many creatures like me. We're beautiful like the diamond-backed snake, or the striped tiger, yet we're merciless killers
Anne Rice
Garden of Pain, I need you. What were the songs of beasts to the cries of sentient souls?
Anne Rice
-You are on the verge of being truly mad. -No, not at all. Look at me. I can tie my shoelaces. See?
Anne Rice
Roman influence seeds itself, sprouting mighty oaks right through the modern forest of computers, digital disks, microviruses and space satellites.
Anne Rice
Evil is always possible. Goodness is a difficulty.
