And when a strong man is sweet, even Goddesses look down from Mount Olympus.
Anne Rice
Image
As for oblivion, well, we can wait a little while for that.
Anne Rice
Image
I no longer represent any organized religion. I'm not Catholic. I'm not Christian. I'm saying this because I have to be an outsider for Christ.
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
His Back was turned to the end of the world and the end of the world was quiet.
Anne Rice
Image
Re-telling the Christian story is the essence of my vocation. That has been going on since the Evangelists in one form or another.
Anne Rice
Image
For me, places have a tremendous impact. I fall in love with places. All of life seems different in different places.

Image
I hear the birds singing. Listen. I hear them in their cage. The others-all our kind who know of her-they think of her as heartless, but she wasn't heartless. She was only aware of things which I didn't learn till so many decades had passed. She knew secrets that only suffering can teach.

I am an unwilling devil. I cry like some vagrant child. I want to go home.
Anne Rice
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
Anne Rice

Writers write about what obsesses them. You draw those cards. I lost my mother when I was 14. My daughter died at the age of 6. I lost my faith as a Catholic. When I'm writing, the darkness is always there. I go where the pain is.

Image
Thank God he killed the guy. Oh, now, wait a minute. What kind of a prayer was that!
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.

The atheism and nihilism of my earlier years now seems shallow, and even a bit cocky.
Anne Rice
Image
In the chapel you prayed to be a saint and now I will make you a god.

Vampires pretending to be humans pretending to be vampires ... How avant-garde!
Anne Rice
Image
God, what is it like to be You and hear all those people all the time everywhere, begging, imploring, calling out for anything and anyone?
Anne Rice
Image
I didn’t look to the shore much after this first long and memorable glimpse. I looked up at Heaven and her court of mythical creatures fixed forever in the all powerful and inscrutable stars. Ink black was the night beyond them, and they so like jewels that old poetry came back to me, the sound even of hymns sung only by men.

There was no point in waiting until the next world. You had to do everything now, every kind of sin.

I’d thought I knew what beauty was in women but she’d surpassed all the language I had for it.
