Quote

It is not man who is the enemy of the human species. It is the irrational it is the spiritual when it is divorced from the material from the lesson in one beating heart or one bleeding vein.

I wasn't sent here to find angels! I wasn't sent here to dream of them. I wasn't sent here to hear them sing! I was sent here to be alive. To breathe and sweat and thirst and sometimes cry.

In the name of Christ, I quit Christianity.

Oh Lestat, you deserved everything that's ever happened to you. You better not die. You might actually go to hell.
Anne Rice
Image
I lived like a man who wanted to die but who had no courage to do it himself.

Garden of Pain, I need you. What were the songs of beasts to the cries of sentient souls?

It was as if the empty nights were made for thinking of him. And sometimes I found myself so vividly aware of him it was as if he had only just left the room and the ring of his voice were still there. And somehow, there was a disturbing comfort in that, and, despite myself, I’d envision his face.

People write to me all the time to tell me that homosexuality is an abomination. They base this on a quote in Leviticus. I think the Bible has proved to be a very mysterious and dangerous document.

I feel like an outsider, and I always will feel like one. I've always felt that I wasn't a member of any particular group.
Anne Rice
Image
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.
Anne Rice
Image
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
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.

I didn’t look to the shore much after this first long and memorable glimpse. I looked up at Heaven and her court of mythical creatures fixed forever in the all powerful and inscrutable stars. Ink black was the night beyond them, and they so like jewels that old poetry came back to me, the sound even of hymns sung only by men.

Heaven would be Hell in no time if every cruel, selfish, vicious soul went to Heaven.

I assume as a child Jesus had to learn how to do carpentry, learn Torah, learn all the things a human child had to learn. If He was human in all ways except that He did not sin, this must have been the case.

I do want to go another way - to write something completely different.

My body is no schoolboy.

I find at moments I'm as fragile as glass.

There are too many other inexplicable things around us--horrors, threats, mysteries that draw you in and then inevitably disenchant you. Back to the predictable and humdrum. The prince is never going to come, everybody knows that and maybe Sleeping Beauty's dead.

Obviously, a writer can't know everything about what she writes. It's impossible.

Our language needs endless synonyms for beautiful the eyes could see what the tongue cannot possibly describe.
