….it was a brave man’s fear. I knew what he meant. What must a brave general feel when he knows the battle has gone against him and nothing remains but death?

Oh, my darling, wish you were here! And my dark soul is happy again, because it does not know how to be anything else for very long, and because the pain is a deep dark sea in which I would drown if I did not sail my little craft steadily over the surface, steadily towards a sun which will never rise.

I don't believe in hell. The idea that a supreme being would make hell is ridiculous. An eternity of pain that results in no learning, reformation or rebirth is a nauseating idea. It's one of the reasons I left Christianity. I simply could not accept that version of God.

Maybe that's what Hell is. You go mad. And all your demons come and get you just as fast as you can think them up.

I gave up on the big screen. The Witching Hour was at Warner Bros. for 10 years and it just didn't work out.

It's an awful truth that suffering can deepen us, give a greater lustre to our colours, a richer resonance to our words. That is, if it doesn't destroy us, if it doesn't burn away the optimism and the spirit, the capacity for visions, and the respect for simple yet indispensable things.

The world doesn't need any more mediocrity or hedged bets.

Obviously, a writer can't know everything about what she writes. It's impossible.
Anne Rice

Truth is a risky proposition. It's the nature of mediocre human beings to believe that lies are necessary, that they serve a purpose, that truth is subversive, that candor is dangerous, that the very scaffold of communal life is supported by lies.

Who knows what the hell a government is or what the hell a government does.

We’re going to die and not even know. We’ll never know, and all this meaninglessness will just go on and on and on. And we won’t any longer be witnesses to it. We won’t have even that little bit of power to give meaning to it in our minds. We’ll just be gone, dead, dead, dead, without ever knowing!

I don't like myself you know. I love myself. I'm devoted to myself till my dying day. But I don't like myself.

Re-telling the Christian story is the essence of my vocation. That has been going on since the Evangelists in one form or another.

I have to move away from organized religion. The toxic confusion and anger I was feeling in church had become too great.
Anne Rice

I lived like a man who wanted to die but who had no courage to do it himself.

The one thing you share with every mortal is death.

No matter how rudely someone treats you, remain kind. Walking away at peace with yourself is worth it.

One will hate you for taking his life, another will run to excesses that you scorn. A third will emerge mad and raving, another a monster you cannot control. One will be jealous of your superiority, another shut you out... And the veil will always come down between you Make a legion, you will be, always and forever alone!

To really ask is to open the door to the whirlwind. The answer may annihilate the question and the questioner.

I wish we had more visible Christian and Catholic leaders who talked about love.

For always in her there was a dark place full of despair and a great dividing force to make meaning because there was none.
