The human heart is my school.
Anne Rice
Image
Say what you will to the force that governs the universe. Perhaps we'll call it into being, and it will yet love us as we love it.
Anne Rice
Image
When we love and want nothing but good for that person, it's one of the greatest gifts we possess.
Anne Rice

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

Roman influence seeds itself, sprouting mighty oaks right through the modern forest of computers, digital disks, microviruses and space satellites.
Anne Rice

Don't be a pawn in somebody's game. Find the attitude which gives you the maximum strength and the maximum dignity, no matter what else is going on
Anne Rice

... what I fear in writing is the safe decision.
Anne Rice

Writers write about what obsesses them. You draw those cards. I lost my mother when I was 14. My daughter died at the age of 6. I lost my faith as a Catholic. When I'm writing, the darkness is always there. I go where the pain is.

Whipping is fifty percent show and noise.
Anne Rice
Image
The thing should have plot and character, beginning, middle and end. Arouse pity and then have a catharsis. Those were the best principles I was ever taught.
Anne Rice
Image
So we reach into the raging chaos, and we cling to it, and we tell ourselves it has meaning, and that the world is good, and we are not evil, and we will all go home in the end.
Anne Rice
Image
I was in the black silence of a medieval street, and blindly I followed its sharp turns, comforted by the height of its narrow tenements, which seemed at any moment capable of falling together, closing this alleyway under indifferent stars like a seam.
Anne Rice
Image
Be kind. Always if you have a choice, be kind.
Anne Rice
Image
It draws it's strength, this big secret, from the same root from which I draw my strength, both the good and the bad, because in the end, they cannot be separated.
Anne Rice
Image
I stumble through a carnival of horrors
Anne Rice
Image
In the name of Christ, I refuse to be anti-gay. I refuse to be anti-feminist. I refuse to be anti-artificial birth control. I refuse to be anti-Democrat. I refuse to be anti-secular humanism. I refuse to be anti-science. I refuse to be anti-life. In the name of Christ, I quit Christianity and being Christian. Amen.
