More quotes by 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
Many Christians believe that the vast majority of those created by God will burn in Hell for All Eternity. Many Christians not only believe the world will end soon, but are looking forward to it. I MUST WALK AWAY FROM IT ALL. IN JESUS' NAME.

Anne Rice
I love the one who punishes me well.
Anne Rice
Evil is a point of view ... God kills, and so shall we indiscriminately ... for no creatures under God are as we are, none so like Him as ourselves. God kills indiscriminately and so shall we. For no creatures under God are as we are none so like him as ourselves.
Anne Rice
I think to feel this happy is to be miserable, to feel this much satisfaction is to burn.
Anne Rice
His Back was turned to the end of the world and the end of the world was quiet.
Anne Rice
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.
Anne Rice
But the sky was never quite the same shade of blue again.
Anne Rice
Despair was so familiar to me it could be banished by the sight of a beautiful mannikin in the window. It could be dispelled by the spectacle of lights surrounding a tower. It could be lifted by the great ghostly shape of St. Patrick's coming into view. And then despair would come again.
Anne Rice
I love New Orleans physically. I love the trees and the balmy air and the beautiful days. I have a beautiful house here.
Anne Rice
Would that death were like this. Would that one would sleep and sleep and sleep forever.

I'm Gentleman Death in silk and lace, come to put out the candles. The canker in the heart of the rose.
