More quotes by Anne Rice
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.
Anne Rice
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.
Anne Rice
Heaven would be Hell in no time if every cruel, selfish, vicious soul went to Heaven.
Anne Rice
I can't keep up with Stephen King's output.
Anne Rice
I think love can save the world. When we love, we completely recognize the value of the other.
Anne Rice
We all suffer under a curse, the curse that we know more than we can endure, and there is nothing, absolutely nothing we can do about the force and the lure of this knowledge.
Anne Rice
What I have always wanted more than revenge is to bring the other person to recognition of the pain they caused, so they essentially say, I will never do that again.
Anne Rice
He had grieved for me, I'll give him that much. But then he is so good at grieving! He wears woe as others wear velvet sorrow flatters him like the light of candles tears become him like jewels.
Anne Rice
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
It's an awful truth that suffering can deepen us, give a greater lustre to our colours, a richer resonance to our words. That is, if it doesn't destroy us, if it doesn't burn away the optimism and the spirit, the capacity for visions, and the respect for simple yet indispensable things.
Anne Rice
I was particularly stunned by the casting of Cruise, who is no more my Vampire Lestat than Edward G. Robinson is Rhett Butler.
Anne Rice
It is very disturbing to see people use Christianity and the Bible to support a certain political agenda, especially when one cannot connect that agenda with the authentic teachings of Christ.
Anne Rice
So until we meet again, I am thinking of you always I love you I wish you were here...in my arms.
Anne Rice
A perfect world or a world destroyed, one or the other- someday will come the end of hell.
Anne Rice
The atheism and nihilism of my earlier years now seems shallow, and even a bit cocky.
Anne Rice
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.
Anne Rice
I think to feel this happy is to be miserable, to feel this much satisfaction is to burn.
Anne Rice
Do we have to confess our loves to everyone? asked Thorne softly. Can we not keep some secrets?
Anne Rice
I no longer represent any organized religion. I'm not Catholic. I'm not Christian. I'm saying this because I have to be an outsider for Christ.
Anne Rice
…being an atheist required discipline very like that of being Catholic. One could never yield to the idea of a supernatural authority, no matter how often one might be tempted. To think that a personal God had made the world was to yield to a demonic and superstitious and destructive belief.
