I know nothing, because I know too much, and understand not nearly enough and never will.
Anne Rice

Sweet to think on it, that when we are last weary of all this world there is the rising sun
Anne Rice
Image
You know nothing... And suppose the vampire who made you knew nothing, and the vampire who made that vampire knew nothing, and the vampire before him knew nothing, and so it goes back and back, nothing proceeding from nothing, until there is nothing! And we must live with the knowledge that there is no knowledge.

There may be writing groups where people meet but it's occasional. You really do it all at your own computer or your own typewriter by yourself.
Anne Rice

No matter how rudely someone treats you, remain kind. Walking away at peace with yourself is worth it.

It's so easy to persecute an older, overweight, unwise, crude, ignorant woman who may very well be a good person at heart who has achieved a great deal in her life. So easy to vilify her and hate her and try to destroy her life. Woe to anyone today who is not slender, young, clever and politically correct.

Anne Rice

I hear the birds singing. Listen. I hear them in their cage. The others-all our kind who know of her-they think of her as heartless, but she wasn't heartless. She was only aware of things which I didn't learn till so many decades had passed. She knew secrets that only suffering can teach.

… in the relentless and meaningless manner one searches for something in a nightmare, coming on doors that won’t open or drawers that won’t shut, struggling over and over against the same meaningless thing, not knowing why the effort seems so desperate, why the sudden sight of a chair with a shawl thrown over it inspires the mind with horror.

Do you know what it means to be loved by Death?... Do you know what it means to have Death know your name?
Anne Rice

I think all of us ordinary mortals tend to mythologize people as good-looking as you.

I read The Old Curiosity Shop before I began Blackwood Farm. I was amazed at the utter madness in that book.
