More quotes by Anne Rice
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
I lived like a man who wanted to die but who had no courage to do it himself.
Anne Rice
We’re going to die and not even know. We’ll never know, and all this meaninglessness will just go on and on and on. And we won’t any longer be witnesses to it. We won’t have even that little bit of power to give meaning to it in our minds. We’ll just be gone, dead, dead, dead, without ever knowing!
Anne Rice
Don't be a fool for the Devil, darling.
Anne Rice
We are predators, whose all-seeing eyes were meant to give them detachment.
Anne Rice
... what I fear in writing is the safe decision.
Anne Rice
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.
Anne Rice
I think all of us ordinary mortals tend to mythologize people as good-looking as you.
Anne Rice
Pride is the parent of destruction pride eats the mind and the heart and the soul alive.
Anne Rice
Suppose death had a heart to love and to release you, to whom would he turn this passion, would you chose a person from the crowd there. A person to suffer as you suffer.
Anne Rice
And I realized that I’d tolerated him this long because of self-doubt.
Anne Rice
To really ask is to open the door to the whirlwind. The answer may annihilate the question and the questioner.
Anne Rice
The evil of one murder is infinite, and my guilt is like my beauty - eternal. I cannot be forgiven, for there is no one to forgive me for all I've done.
Anne Rice
Do we have to confess our loves to everyone? asked Thorne softly. Can we not keep some secrets?
Anne Rice
Your quest is for darkness only. This sea is not your sea. The myths of men are not your myths. Men's treasures are not yours.
Anne Rice
Heaven would be Hell in no time if every cruel, selfish, vicious soul went to Heaven.
Anne Rice
In the spring of 1988, I returned to New Orleans, and as soon as I smelled the air, I knew I was home. It was rich, almost sweet, like the scent of jasmine and roses around our old courtyard. I walked the streets, savoring that long lost perfume.
Anne Rice
We have such a terrible, terrible misconception of science. We think it involves the definite, the precise, the known it is a horrid series of gates to an unknown as vast of the universe which means endless.
Anne Rice
Cities have distinct personalities. It's a matter of knowing it.
Anne Rice
All the mortal world is a lethal enemy during those hours between dawn and dusk.
