All my life,I've been afraid of things, as a child and a woman must be. I lied about it naturally. I fancied myself a witch and walked in dark streets to punish myself for my doubts. But I knew what it meant to be afraid.

More quotes by Anne Rice
Heaven would be Hell in no time if every cruel, selfish, vicious soul went to Heaven.
Anne Rice
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.
Anne Rice
Goodnight sweet prince, may flights of devils wing you to your rest.
Anne Rice
In the chapel you prayed to be a saint and now I will make you a god.
Anne Rice
I was obsessed with religious questions, the basics: Why are we here? Why is the world so beautiful?
Anne Rice
The finest thing under the sun and moon is the human soul. I marvel at the small miracles of kindness that pass between humans, I marvel at the growth of conscience, at the persistence of reason in the face of all superstition or despair. I marvel at human endurance.
Anne Rice
I am deeply discouraged by Catholic Bishops who say Catholics cannot support same sex marriage in our secular culture.
Anne Rice
I enjoy the Web site a lot and I like being able to talk to my readers. I've always had a very close relationship with them.
Anne Rice

Anne Rice
And I loved this moment for all it's pain...We seemed for a moment like two parts of the same thing.
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 do want to go another way - to write something completely different.
Anne Rice
We are predators, whose all-seeing eyes were meant to give them detachment.
Anne Rice
It's an awful truth that suffering can deepen us, give a greater lustre to our colours, a richer resonance to our words.
Anne Rice
I'm Gentleman Death in silk and lace, come to put out the candles. The canker in the heart of the rose.
Anne Rice
I can't keep up with Stephen King's output.
Anne Rice
Go where the pain is, go where the pleasure is.
Anne Rice
The highest truths a person could discover were rooted in the natural world.
Anne Rice
Cities have distinct personalities. It's a matter of knowing it.
Anne Rice
I was good and bad, but never wicked.
