Quote

Dear God, help me. Do not forget me on this tiny cinder lost in a galaxy that is lost–a heart no bigger than a speck of dust beating, beating against death, against meaninglessness, against guilt, against sorrow.

Anne Rice

Protect your voice and your vision. If going on the Internet and reading Internet reviews is bad for you, don’t do it. … Do what gets you to write and not what blocks you. … Don’t take any guff off anybody.

But all morality is of necessity shaped by context. I'm not talking relativism, no. To ignore the context of a decision is in fact immoral.
Anne Rice

I left Christianity because I wanted to be a moral person. That is why I left. I no longer believed in its lies.
Anne Rice
Image
I am afraid of death. I believe nothing, and therefore like many who believe nothing I must make something, and that something is the meaning which I give my life.
Anne Rice
Image
That is the crowning evil, that we can even go so far as to love each other, you and I. And who else would show us a particle of love, a particle of compassion or mercy? Who else, knowing us as we know each other, could do anything but destroy us? Yet we can love each other.

One will hate you for taking his life, another will run to excesses that you scorn. A third will emerge mad and raving, another a monster you cannot control. One will be jealous of your superiority, another shut you out... And the veil will always come down between you Make a legion, you will be, always and forever alone!

Making a film, I've learned, can be an exhausting process, due to the need for backing, distribution, etc.
Anne Rice
Image
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.

Say what you will to the force that governs the universe. Perhaps we'll call it into being, and it will yet love us as we love it.
Anne Rice
Image
Oh, the lies that I have told myself and others. I knew it yet I didn't know.
Anne Rice
Image
I don't like myself you know. I love myself. I'm devoted to myself till my dying day. But I don't like myself.
Anne Rice

There are so many books I mean to read, and things I mean to see.

Every moment must be first known and then savored.
Anne Rice
Image
All my life,I've been afraid of things, as a child and a woman must be. I lied about it naturally. I fancied myself a witch and walked in dark streets to punish myself for my doubts. But I knew what it meant to be afraid.

Evil is always possible. Goodness is a difficulty.

If you want to be a writer, write. Write and write and write. If you stop, start again. Save everything that you write. If you feel blocked, write through it until you feel your creative juices flowing again. Write. Writing is what makes a writer, nothing more and nothing less.
Anne Rice
Image
Life itself must be founded upon the infinite possibility for choice and accident. And if we cannot prove that it is, we must believe that it is. We must believe that we can change, that we can control, that we can direct our own destinies.

Everyone is a potential naked slave to you once you become a trainer.
