Anne Rice
Image
He was so excited by this little bit of intelligence that he might have gone off, perplexed, pondering for a long time. It was like reading a wonderful sentence in a book, and not being able to continue because so many possibilities were crowding his mind.
Anne Rice

Oh, the lies that I have told myself and others. I knew it yet I didn't know.
Anne Rice
Image
People who cease to believe in God or goodness altogether still believe in the devil. I don't know why. No, I do indeed know why. Evil is always possible. And goodness is eternally difficult.
Anne Rice
Image
And books, they offer one hope -- that a whole universe might open up from between the covers, and falling into that universe, one is saved.

He had grieved for me, I'll give him that much. But then he is so good at grieving! He wears woe as others wear velvet sorrow flatters him like the light of candles tears become him like jewels.
Anne Rice
Image
Should we put out the light? And then put out the light. But once put out thy light, I cannot give it vital breath again. It needs must wither.

Anne Rice
Image
Without memory there can be no insight. Without love, there can be no appreciation.
Anne Rice

Anne Rice
Image
Like all strong people, she suffered always a measure of loneliness she was a marginal outsider, a secret infidel of a certain sort.
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.
Anne Rice
Image
How could anyone love Him? What did you just tell me yourself about the world? Don't you see, everybody hates God now. It's not that God is dead in the twentieth century. It's that everybody hates Him! At least I think so.
Anne Rice

I was good and bad, but never wicked.
Anne Rice
Image
as they die, the ones we love, we lose our witnesses, our watchers, those who know and understand the tiny little meaningless patterns, those words drawn in water with a stick. And there is nothing left but the endless flow.
Anne Rice
Image
We are predators, whose all-seeing eyes were meant to give them detachment.
Anne Rice
Image
Don't bend don't water it down don't try to make it logical don't edit your own soul according to the fashion. Rather, follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly. Only if you do that can you hope to make the reader feel every particle of what you, the writer, have known and feel compelled to share.---Forward to Kafka's Short stories

You know nothing... And suppose the vampire who made you knew nothing, and the vampire who made that vampire knew nothing, and the vampire before him knew nothing, and so it goes back and back, nothing proceeding from nothing, until there is nothing! And we must live with the knowledge that there is no knowledge.
