Quote

Protect your voice and your vision. If going on the Internet and reading Internet reviews is bad for you, don’t do it. … Do what gets you to write and not what blocks you. … Don’t take any guff off anybody.

I can’t help being a gorgeous fiend. It’s just the card I drew.
Anne Rice
Image
I am afraid of death. I believe nothing, and therefore like many who believe nothing I must make something, and that something is the meaning which I give my life.
Anne Rice
Image
Who knew that better than I, who had presided over the death of my own body, seeing all I called human wither and die only to form an unbreakable chain which held me fast to this world yet made me forever its exile, a specter with a beating heart?
Anne Rice
Image
Whatever will happen will happen, but choose your companions with care. Choose them because you like to look at them and you like the sound of their voices, and they have profound secrets in them that you wish to know. In other words, choose them because you love them. Otherwise you will not be able to bear their company for very long.
Anne Rice
Image
So until we meet again, I am thinking of you always I love you I wish you were here...in my arms.
Anne Rice

It seems an insult to the night to speak of purpose and intent, when this common moment is so brimming full of blessed design tranquility. All things follow their course.
Anne Rice
Image
How pathetic it is to describe these things which can't truly be described.
Anne Rice
Image
I resolved to move just a little bit more slowly through the world, to look around myself with greater care, and to try to remain conscious of all that was going on around me at all times.
Anne Rice
Image
I'm usually working on my own mythology, my own realm of created characters. Stories in mythology inspire me, though I may not be conscious of it.
Anne Rice
Image
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.
Anne Rice
Image
Motivated employees are crucial to a company's success.
Anne Rice
Image
Don't be a fool for the Devil, darling.
Anne Rice
Image
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
Image
How can so much beauty hide such a bruised and steely heart, and why must I love him, why must I lean in my weariness upon his irresistible yet indomitable strength? Is he not the wizend funeral spirit of a dead man in a child's clothes?
Anne Rice
Image
Oh, if the moon only had a secret, if the moon only held a truth. But the moon was just the moon.
Anne Rice
Image
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
Image
Why does shame and self-loathing become cruelty to the innocent ?
Anne Rice
Image
Thank God he killed the guy. Oh, now, wait a minute. What kind of a prayer was that!
Anne Rice
Image
as they die, the ones we love, we lose our witnesses, our watchers, those who know and understand the tiny little meaningless patterns, those words drawn in water with a stick. And there is nothing left but the endless flow.
Anne Rice
Image
Maybe a new religion will rise now. Maybe without it, man will crumble in cynicism and selfishness because he really needs his gods.
