Quote

Ah, come now. I look like an angel, but I'm not. The old rules of nature encompass many creatures like me. We're beautiful like the diamond-backed snake, or the striped tiger, yet we're merciless killers

My life's been too much of a self-created vocation. And there are times when I think I've done everything in the name of defiance.
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.

This is a lyrical guide that addresses the deep human yearning to make a difference. It's full of indelible stories reminding us that, yes, helping people is hard-but it's both possible and infinitely rewarding. A Path Appears offers practical steps that any of us can take to empower others, and ourselves.

The most difficult novel I have had to write in terms of just getting it done was The Vampire Lestat. It took a year to write.

It's an awful truth that suffering can deepen us, give a greater lustre to our colours, a richer resonance to our words.
Anne Rice

Evil is a point of view ... God kills, and so shall we indiscriminately ... for no creatures under God are as we are, none so like Him as ourselves. God kills indiscriminately and so shall we. For no creatures under God are as we are none so like him as ourselves.

How could anyone love Him? What did you just tell me yourself about the world? Don't you see, everybody hates God now. It's not that God is dead in the twentieth century. It's that everybody hates Him! At least I think so.

It was as if this night were only one of thousands of nights, world without end, night curving into night to make a great arching line of which I couldn’t see the end, a night in which I roamed alone under cold, mindless stars.

Believe in angels? Then believe in vampires. Believe in me. There are worse things on earth.

We would make our heroes shallow.... We would make them brittle. It is they who must remind us of the true meaning of strength.

I think that we are supernatural. We are unique. We're the only animals in the universe that we know of that actually have self-consciousness, a sense of time and our own mortality.
