One moment the world is as it is. The next, it is something entirely different. Something it has never been before.
Anne Rice
Perhaps this is the only real evil left.
Anne Rice
I tell you, we would be hard put to determine what is more evil -- religion or the pure idea. The intervention of the supernatural or the elegant abstract solution! Both have bathed this earth in suffering both have brought the human race literally and figuratively to its knees.
Anne Rice
The old gods will bring about vengeance not so much because they exist but because I once honored them.
Anne Rice
Oh to have you with me, to have you here, not to be alone, but to be with you, my beauty, you of all souls! You.
Anne Rice
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.
Anne Rice
If I am an angel, paint me with black wings.
Anne Rice
Thank God he killed the guy. Oh, now, wait a minute. What kind of a prayer was that!
Anne Rice
I’d thought I knew what beauty was in women but she’d surpassed all the language I had for it.
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
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.
Anne Rice
To be godless is probably the first step to innocence, he said, to lose the sense of sin and subordination, the false grief for things supposed to be lost. So by innocence you mean not an absence of experience, but an absence of illusions. An absence of need for illusions, he said. A love of and respect for what is right before your ey
Anne Rice
I wish we had more visible Christian and Catholic leaders who talked about love.
Anne Rice
I think to feel this happy is to be miserable, to feel this much satisfaction is to burn.
Anne Rice
Wasn't it his right to listen to opera, read poetry and adventure novels, go to Europe every couple of months for some reason or another, and drive his Porsche over the speed limit until he found out who he was?
Anne Rice
And what constitutes evil, real evil, is the taking of a single human life. Whether a man would die tomorrow or the day after or eventually... it doesn't matter. Because if God does not exist, then life... every second of it... Is all we have.
Anne Rice
I know nothing, because I know too much, and understand not nearly enough and never will.
Anne Rice
I WANT to be a saint. I want to save souls by the millions. I want to do good far and wide. I want to fight evil! I want my life-sized statue in every church. I'm talking six feet tall, blond hair, blue eyes-.Wait a second.Do you know who I am?
Anne Rice
But the sky was never quite the same shade of blue again.
Anne Rice
So until we meet again, I am thinking of you always I love you I wish you were here...in my arms.
