More quotes by Anne Rice

Anne Rice
DO I BELIEVE THAT PEOPLE ARE BASICALLY GOOD? Yes, I do believe that, and I trust Buddhists and Hindus and Moslems to seek the good and to want to live in peace.
Anne Rice
We are not damned. We never were. Who under the sun has the right to damn any living breathing creature?

Your love to others, and their love for you, that the increase of love in life itself around you, is what matters.
Anne Rice
The finest thing under the sun and moon is the human soul. I marvel at the small miracles of kindness that pass between humans, I marvel at the growth of conscience, at the persistence of reason in the face of all superstition or despair. I marvel at human endurance.
Anne Rice
