So until we meet again, I am thinking of you always I love you I wish you were here...in my arms.
Anne Rice
Image
And this lesson about mortal peace of mind I never forgot. Even if a ghost is ripping a house to pieces, throwing in pans all over, pouring water of pillows, making clocks chime at all hours, mortal will accept almost any natural explanation offered, no matter how absurd, rather than the obvious supernatural one, for what is going on.

Vampires pretending to be humans pretending to be vampires ... How avant-garde!
Anne Rice
Image
There are too many other inexplicable things around us--horrors, threats, mysteries that draw you in and then inevitably disenchant you. Back to the predictable and humdrum. The prince is never going to come, everybody knows that and maybe Sleeping Beauty's dead.
Anne Rice
Image
No matter how long we exist, we have our memories. Points in time which time itself cannot erase. Suffering may distort my backward glances, but even to suffering, some memories will yield nothing of their beauty or their splendor. Rather they remain as hard as gems.
Anne Rice

Thank God he killed the guy. Oh, now, wait a minute. What kind of a prayer was that!
Anne Rice
Image
One moment the world is as it is. The next, it is something entirely different. Something it has never been before.

My efforts with Hollywood are like things written in water.

If you want to be a writer, write. Write and write and write. If you stop, start again. Save everything that you write. If you feel blocked, write through it until you feel your creative juices flowing again. Write. Writing is what makes a writer, nothing more and nothing less.

Cities have distinct personalities. It's a matter of knowing it.
Anne Rice
Image
Say what you will to the force that governs the universe. Perhaps we'll call it into being, and it will yet love us as we love it.
Anne Rice
Image
Everything we do in life, we do with certain expectations.
Anne Rice
Image
It seems an insult to the night to speak of purpose and intent, when this common moment is so brimming full of blessed design tranquility. All things follow their course.
Anne Rice
Image
We would make our heroes shallow.... We would make them brittle. It is they who must remind us of the true meaning of strength.
Anne Rice
Image
But just remember, life without me would be even more unbearable.
Anne Rice
Image
Don't you see? It is a new age. It requires a new evil. And I am that new evil.
Anne Rice
Image
His blood coursed through my veins sweeter than life itself. And as it did, Lestats words made sense to me. I knew peace only when I killed and when I heard his heart in that terrible rhythm, I knew again what peace could be.

The most difficult novel I have had to write in terms of just getting it done was The Vampire Lestat. It took a year to write.
Anne Rice
Image
Lestat: I despise you! I ought to destroy you-finish what I started when I made you. Turn you into ashes and sift them through my hands. You know that I could do it! Like that! Like the snap of mortal fingers, I could do it. Burn you as I burnt your little house. And nothing could save you, nothing at all.

Life is a tragedy, one way or another. What is certain is that you die.
