Image
I picture heaven as a vast library, with unlimited volumes to read. And paintings and statues to examine galore. I picture it as a great doorway to learning...rather than one great dull answer to all our questions

It was as if this night were only one of thousands of nights, world without end, night curving into night to make a great arching line of which I couldn’t see the end, a night in which I roamed alone under cold, mindless stars.
Anne Rice
Image
As if the night had said to me, ‘You are the night and the night alone understands you and enfolds you in its arms’ One with the shadows. Without nightmare. An inexplicable peace.

And what if I never go of my own free will? Will you pitch me from some window so that I must fly or fall? Will you bolt all shutters after me? You had better, because I'll knock and knock and knock until I fall down dead. I'll have no wings that take me away from you.

Anne Rice
Image
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.

And when a strong man is sweet, even Goddesses look down from Mount Olympus.

You were the vampire in my dream. My perfect one.

I am in love with you', I responded. He laughed the most beguiling and gentle laugh. 'Of course you are,' he replied. 'I understand perfectly because I'm in love with myself. The fact that I'm not transfixed in front of the nearest mirror takes a great deal of self-control.' It was my turn to laugh.

We would make our heroes shallow.... We would make them brittle. It is they who must remind us of the true meaning of strength.

Lestat: Toughen up baby. I'm looking for the eternal scum.

Something in me was responding now as the audience responded, not in fear, but in some human way, to the magic of that fragile painted set, the mystery of the lighted world there.

I read The Old Curiosity Shop before I began Blackwood Farm. I was amazed at the utter madness in that book.

Do we have to confess our loves to everyone? asked Thorne softly. Can we not keep some secrets?

Being liberated means reading what you want to read, and fantasizing about what you want to fantasize about.

We need to stop fighting Christian against Christian. I have no time for anything but trying to love other people. That is a full-time job.
Anne Rice
Image
My life's been too much of a self-created vocation. And there are times when I think I've done everything in the name of defiance.

In the name of Christ, I quit Christianity.
