I will write things, he was thinking. I will write something meaningful and wonderful someday. I can do that. And I'll dedicate it to you because you're the first person who ever made me think I could.

Old truths and ancient magic, revolution and invention, all conspire to distract us from the passion that in one way or another defeats us all.
Anne Rice
Image
But death we are, and death we've always been.
Anne Rice
Image
The vampires have always been metaphors for me. They've always been vehicles through which I can express things I have felt very, very deeply.
Anne Rice
Image
How shameful. How predictable! How insipid. And how sweet.
Anne Rice
Image
All the mortal world is a lethal enemy during those hours between dawn and dusk.
Anne Rice
Image
It's an awful truth that suffering can deepen us, give a greater lustre to our colours, a richer resonance to our words.

Louis: You see that old woman? That will never happen to you. You will never grow old, and you will never die. Claudia: And it means something else too, doesn't it? I shall never ever grow up.

When we love and want nothing but good for that person, it's one of the greatest gifts we possess.

The atheism and nihilism of my earlier years now seems shallow, and even a bit cocky.
Anne Rice
Image
I would die rather than live without you. I would die the same way he died. I can't bear you to look at me the way you did. I cannot bear it if you do not love me! -Claudia.

Whatever will happen will happen, but choose your companions with care. Choose them because you like to look at them and you like the sound of their voices, and they have profound secrets in them that you wish to know. In other words, choose them because you love them. Otherwise you will not be able to bear their company for very long.

Stephen King in many respects is a wonderful writer. He has made a contribution. People in the future will be able to pick up Stephen King's books and learn a lot about who we were by reading those books.

I don't believe in hell. The idea that a supreme being would make hell is ridiculous. An eternity of pain that results in no learning, reformation or rebirth is a nauseating idea. It's one of the reasons I left Christianity. I simply could not accept that version of God.
Anne Rice
Image
That was my nature - going from temptation after temptation, not to sin, but to be redeemed.
Anne Rice
Image
Oh, the lies that I have told myself and others. I knew it yet I didn't know.
Anne Rice
Image
... what I fear in writing is the safe decision.

The worst takes its time to come, and then to pass.
Anne Rice
Image
Because I show you my pain, I do not of necessity love you.
Anne Rice
Image
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.

Lestat and Louie feel sorry for vampires that sparkle in the sun. They would never hurt immortals who choose to spend eternity going to high school over and over again in a small town ---- anymore than they would hurt the physically disabled or the mentally challenged. My vampires possess gravitas. They can afford to be merciful.
