Evil is always possible. Goodness is a difficulty.
Anne Rice
Image
Do we have to confess our loves to everyone? asked Thorne softly. Can we not keep some secrets?
Anne Rice
Image
That is the crowning evil, that we can even go so far as to love each other, you and I. And who else would show us a particle of love, a particle of compassion or mercy? Who else, knowing us as we know each other, could do anything but destroy us? Yet we can love each other.

First-person narrators is the way I know how to write a book with the greatest power and chance of artistic success.
Anne Rice
Image
Mortal beauty often makes me ache, and mortal grandeur can fill me with that longing...but Paris, Paris drew me close to her heart, so I forgot myself entirely. Forgot the damned and questing preternatural thing that doted on mortal skin and mortal clothing. Paris overwhelmed, and lightened and rewarded more richly than any promise.

Yes, I know, And I love to hear you say it, Louis. I need to hear you say it. I don't think anyone will ever say it quite like you do. Come on, say it again. I'm a perfect devil. Tell me how bad I am. It makes me feel so good!
Anne Rice

When I'm writing, the darkness is always there. I go where the pain is.
Anne Rice
Image
There is one purpose to life and one only: to bear witness to and understand as much as possible of the complexity of the world- its beauty, its mysteries, its riddles.
Anne Rice
Image
Was it fair to say I didn't know the full state of my soul?
Anne Rice
Image
To really ask is to open the door to the whirlwind. The answer may annihilate the question and the questioner.
Anne Rice
Image
Come on, say it again. I'm a perfect devil. Tell me how bad I am. It makes me feel so good!
Anne Rice
Image
My greatest sin has always been that I have a wonderful time being myself
Anne Rice
Image
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.
Anne Rice
Image
I grabbed her ankle and kissed it, and when I looked up I saw her chin and her eyelashes as she threw back her head and laughed.

Image
I had wanted to say that my song was far too painful to sing.
Anne Rice

-You are on the verge of being truly mad. -No, not at all. Look at me. I can tie my shoelaces. See?

Don't be a fool for the Devil, darling.
