More quotes by Anne Rice
Oh, my darling, wish you were here! And my dark soul is happy again, because it does not know how to be anything else for very long, and because the pain is a deep dark sea in which I would drown if I did not sail my little craft steadily over the surface, steadily towards a sun which will never rise.
Anne Rice
I find at moments I'm as fragile as glass.
Anne Rice
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
Because I show you my pain, I do not of necessity love you.
Anne Rice
The truth is, laughter always sounds more perfect than weeping. Laughter flows in a violent riff and is effortlessly melodic. Weeping is often fought, choked, half strangled, or surrendered to with humiliation.
Anne Rice
You look good to me, you damnable little devil, good to embrace and good to love.
Anne Rice
We are not damned. We never were. Who under the sun has the right to damn any living breathing creature?
Anne Rice
All the mortal world is a lethal enemy during those hours between dawn and dusk.
Anne Rice
Lestat: Toughen up baby. I'm looking for the eternal scum.
Anne Rice
That morning I was not yet a vampire, and I saw my last sunrise. I remember it completely, and yet I can't recall any sunrise before it. I watched the whole magnificence of the dawn for the last time as if it were the first. And then I said farewell to sunlight, and set out to become what I became.
Anne Rice
I wish we had more visible Christian and Catholic leaders who talked about love.
Anne Rice
The earth here is beautiful. And it still belongs to the dead.
Anne Rice
Do you know what I think about crying? I think some people have to learn to do it. But once you learn, once you know how to really cry, there's nothing quite like it. I feel sorry for those who don't know the trick. It's like whistling or singing.
Anne Rice
Cities have distinct personalities. It's a matter of knowing it.
Anne Rice
Would that death were like this. Would that one would sleep and sleep and sleep forever.
Anne Rice
We breathe the light, we breathe the music, we breathe the moment as it passes through us.
Anne Rice
I had wanted to say that my song was far too painful to sing.
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
The highest truths a person could discover were rooted in the natural world.
Anne Rice
I can't get very far away from Christianity, I can't get very far away from the angels and the saints. I work them in always, in some way.
Anne Rice
