Maybe a new religion will rise now. Maybe without it, man will crumble in cynicism and selfishness because he really needs his gods.
Anne Rice
Image
I can't get very far away from Christianity, I can't get very far away from the angels and the saints. I work them in always, in some way.

Let the spirits witness: for theirs is the knowledge of the future - both what it would be, and what I will: You are the Queen of the Damned, that's what you are! Evil is your only destiny. But at your greatest hour, it is I who will defeat you. Look well on my face. It is I who will bring you down.

I would have done just about anything for him.

You were the vampire in my dream. My perfect one.
Anne Rice
Image
What I have always wanted more than revenge is to bring the other person to recognition of the pain they caused, so they essentially say, I will never do that again.
Anne Rice
Image
The vampire is an outsider. He's the perfect metaphor for those things. He's someone who looks human and sounds human, but is not human, so he's always on the margins.
Anne Rice
Image
I know nothing of God or the Devil. I have never seen a vision nor learned a secret that would damn or save my soul.
Anne Rice

The human heart is my school.

What does it mean to die when you can live until the end of the world?
Anne Rice
Image
I assume as a child Jesus had to learn how to do carpentry, learn Torah, learn all the things a human child had to learn. If He was human in all ways except that He did not sin, this must have been the case.

Evil is a point of view.
Anne Rice

An evil for these times destined to move through the world in handsome human guise.
