The young know how truly difficult and dreadful youth can be. Their youth is wasted on everyone else, that's the horror. The young have no authority, no respect.

More quotes by Anne Rice
Life is a tragedy, one way or another. What is certain is that you die.
Anne Rice
Sometimes fear is a warning. It's like someone putting a hand on your shoulder and saying Go No Farther.
Anne Rice
It struck me, sharp and hard, that I had been given so many chances to save my soul that my entire life had been constructed around these chances! That was my nature - going from temptation to temptation, not to sin, but to be redeemed.
Anne Rice
I grabbed her ankle and kissed it, and when I looked up I saw her chin and her eyelashes as she threw back her head and laughed.
Anne Rice
[...] so important to believe in a concept of goodness, even if we make it up ourselves. We don't really make it up. it's there, isn't it? Oh, yes, it's there, she said. It's there because we put it there.
Anne Rice
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.
Anne Rice
There's no way to cheat a sensualist like me, somebody who can die laughing for hours over the pattern of the carpet in a hotel lobby.
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.
Anne Rice
What is written beneath this heavy handsome book cover will count, so sayeth this cover.
Anne Rice
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.
Anne Rice
Something in me was responding now as the audience responded, not in fear, but in some human way, to the magic of that fragile painted set, the mystery of the lighted world there.
Anne Rice
Suffering of sentient beings is like decay it fertilizes the growth of their souls.
Anne Rice
One moment the world is as it is. The next, it is something entirely different. Something it has never been before.
Anne Rice
Invest in a feather duster - the possibilities are endless.
Anne Rice
But don't you see, all human decisions are made like this. Do you think the mother knows what will happen to the child in her womb? Dear God, we are lost, I tell you. What does it matter if you give it to me and it's wrong! There is no wrong! There is only desperation, and I would have it! I want to live forever with you.
Anne Rice
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
Phil was mumbling that Reuben might become a writer after all and writers had a way of redeeming everything that ever happens to them.
Anne Rice
It's so easy to persecute an older, overweight, unwise, crude, ignorant woman who may very well be a good person at heart who has achieved a great deal in her life. So easy to vilify her and hate her and try to destroy her life. Woe to anyone today who is not slender, young, clever and politically correct.
Anne Rice
And so this young one, this young one whom I had so loved, I had to forsake, no matter how broken my heart, no matter how lonely my soul, no matter how bruised my intellect and spirit.
Anne Rice
It was over now, and the meaningless world was tolerable and need not be explained. And never would it be, and how foolish I had ever been to think so.
Anne Rice
