More quotes by Anne Rice
The library furnished our dreams, helped us shape our ambitions, made up people of books and ideas and grand designs.
Anne Rice
To learn and to love, that is what we are here for, any activity which is not grounded in one of these two is a waste of time.
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
Your love to others, and their love for you, that the increase of love in life itself around you, is what matters.
Anne Rice
No matter how long we exist, we have our memories. Points in time which time itself cannot erase. Suffering may distort my backward glances, but even to suffering, some memories will yield nothing of their beauty or their splendor. Rather they remain as hard as gems.
Anne Rice
The whole theme of Interview with the Vampire was Louis's quest for meaning in a godless world. He searched to find the oldest existing immortal simply to ask, What is the meaning of what we are?
Anne Rice
One moment the world is as it is. The next, it is something entirely different. Something it has never been before.
Anne Rice
Garden of Pain, I need you. What were the songs of beasts to the cries of sentient souls?
Anne Rice
Don't be a pawn in somebody's game. Find the attitude which gives you the maximum strength and the maximum dignity, no matter what else is going on
Anne Rice
Fear is only good when you have a choice in things.
Anne Rice
I promised that from now on I would write only for the Lord.
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
Sleep is your friend. Dreams are your unwelcome guests.
Anne Rice
His Back was turned to the end of the world and the end of the world was quiet.
Anne Rice
Ignore any loss of nerve, ignore any loss of self-confidence, ignore any doubt or confusion. Move on believing in love, in peace, and harmony, and in great accomplishment. Remember joy isn't a stranger to you. You are winning and you are strong. Love. Love first, love always, love forever.
Anne Rice
Consequently, if you believe God made Satan, you must realize that all Satan's power comes from God and so that Satan is simply God's child, and that we are God's children also. There are no children of Satan, really.
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
We shall live even in this state of living death, we shall love, we shall feel, we shall defy all who would judge and destroy us.
Anne Rice
Do you know what I think about crying? I think some people have to learn to do it. But once you learn, once you know how to really cry, there's nothing quite like it. I feel sorry for those who don't know the trick. It's like whistling or singing.
Anne Rice
I claim Dickens as a mentor. He's my teacher. He's one of my driving forces.
