The atheism and nihilism of my earlier years now seems shallow, and even a bit cocky.
Anne Rice
Image
And this lesson about mortal peace of mind I never forgot.

The supernatural world has always been more real to me than the real world.
Anne Rice
Image

In the spring of 1988, I returned to New Orleans, and as soon as I smelled the air, I knew I was home. It was rich, almost sweet, like the scent of jasmine and roses around our old courtyard. I walked the streets, savoring that long lost perfume.

I was a newborn vampire, weeping at the beauty of the night.
Anne Rice
Image
I resolved to move just a little bit more slowly through the world, to look around myself with greater care, and to try to remain conscious of all that was going on around me at all times.

The greatest create of power you have on earth, whether you are an angel, a spirit, a man or woman or child is to help others.
Anne Rice
Image
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
Image
Oh, if the moon only had a secret, if the moon only held a truth. But the moon was just the moon.
Anne Rice
Image
Maybe that's what Hell is. You go mad. And all your demons come and get you just as fast as you can think them up.

You are someone worth loving

What is written beneath this heavy handsome book cover will count, so sayeth this cover.

Dickens is a very underrated writer at the moment. Everyone in his time admired him but I think right now he's not spoken of enough.

There's no way to cheat a sensualist like me, somebody who can die laughing for hours over the pattern of the carpet in a hotel lobby.
