What is fear after all? It is indecision. You seek some way to resist, escape. There is none.

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.

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.

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!

Lestat: Toughen up baby. I'm looking for the eternal scum.

I'm hoping what all sentient beings hope ... that somehow I'm part of something larger than myself, in which I play a role, an actual role that is somehow intended and meaningful.

But don't you see, all human decisions are made like this. Do you think the mother knows what will happen to the child in her womb? Dear God, we are lost, I tell you. What does it matter if you give it to me and it's wrong! There is no wrong! There is only desperation, and I would have it! I want to live forever with you.

There are so many books I mean to read, and things I mean to see.

One moment the world is as it is. The next, it is something entirely different. Something it has never been before.

Truth is a risky proposition. It's the nature of mediocre human beings to believe that lies are necessary, that they serve a purpose, that truth is subversive, that candor is dangerous, that the very scaffold of communal life is supported by lies.

A perfectly evil Devil makes even less sense than a perfect God.

Goodnight sweet prince, may flights of devils wing you to your rest.

I gave up on the big screen. The Witching Hour was at Warner Bros. for 10 years and it just didn't work out.

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.

It draws it's strength, this big secret, from the same root from which I draw my strength, both the good and the bad, because in the end, they cannot be separated.

Curses of vanished elders echoed down on me too pretty, too soft, too pale, eyes far too full of the Devil, ah, that devilish smile

Then, are you master of us all? You didn't teach her that. Was she supposed to imbibe it from my quiet subservience?

Revenge is the concern of those who are at some point or other beaten. I am not beaten, I told myself. No, not beaten. And victory is far more interesting to contemplate than revenge.

It's an awful truth that suffering can deepen us, give a greater lustre to our colours, a richer resonance to our words. That is, if it doesn't destroy us, if it doesn't burn away the optimism and the spirit, the capacity for visions, and the respect for simple yet indispensable things.
