Cities have distinct personalities. It's a matter of knowing it.
Anne Rice
Image
God, why didn't you make us all dogs?
Anne Rice
Image
That is the crowning evil, that we can even go so far as to love each other, you and I. And who else would show us a particle of love, a particle of compassion or mercy? Who else, knowing us as we know each other, could do anything but destroy us? Yet we can love each other.
Anne Rice
Image
The spirit who inhabits her animates us all. Destroy the host, you destroy the power. The young die first the old wither slowly the eldest perhaps would go last. But she is the Queen of the Damned, and the Damned can't live without her.
Anne Rice
Image
And I realized that I’d tolerated him this long because of self-doubt.
Anne Rice
Image
I lived like a man who wanted to die but who had no courage to do it himself.
Anne Rice
Image
Garden of Pain, I need you. What were the songs of beasts to the cries of sentient souls?
Anne Rice
Image
I like to read things I've read before. It's like listening over and over to your favorite song.
Anne Rice
Image
His Back was turned to the end of the world and the end of the world was quiet.
Anne Rice
Image
When you think night and day and every moment only of pleasing me, things will be very easy for you.
Anne Rice
Image
I know Christianity and I know I have to move away from it and approach Jesus Christ on my own. I have to talk to Him directly and seek His guidance and protection as I seek to make my commitment to Him central to my life.
Anne Rice
Image
Oh Lestat, you deserved everything that's ever happened to you. You better not die. You might actually go to hell.
Anne Rice
Image
I tell you, we would be hard put to determine what is more evil -- religion or the pure idea. The intervention of the supernatural or the elegant abstract solution! Both have bathed this earth in suffering both have brought the human race literally and figuratively to its knees.
Anne Rice
Image
Sometimes fear is a warning. It's like someone putting a hand on your shoulder and saying Go No Farther.
Anne Rice
Image
It's an awful truth that suffering can deepen us, give a greater lustre to our colours, a richer resonance to our words. That is, if it doesn't destroy us, if it doesn't burn away the optimism and the spirit, the capacity for visions, and the respect for simple yet indispensable things.

I will be the Vampire Lestat for all to see. A symbol, a freak of nature - something loved, something despised all of those things. I tell you I can't give it up. I can't miss. And quite frankly I am not in the least afraid. - Lestat, The Vampire Lestat, p. 532

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
You know nothing... And suppose the vampire who made you knew nothing, and the vampire who made that vampire knew nothing, and the vampire before him knew nothing, and so it goes back and back, nothing proceeding from nothing, until there is nothing! And we must live with the knowledge that there is no knowledge.
Anne Rice

But all morality is of necessity shaped by context. I'm not talking relativism, no. To ignore the context of a decision is in fact immoral.
Anne Rice

Aren't there gradations of evil? Is evil a great perilous gulf into which one falls with the first sin, plummeting to the depth?
