Evil is just a point of view
Anne Rice
Image
All my life,I've been afraid of things, as a child and a woman must be. I lied about it naturally. I fancied myself a witch and walked in dark streets to punish myself for my doubts. But I knew what it meant to be afraid.

Being liberated means reading what you want to read, and fantasizing about what you want to fantasize about.
Anne Rice
Image
I'm Gentleman Death in silk and lace, come to put out the candles. The canker in the heart of the rose.
Anne Rice
Image
What I have always wanted more than revenge is to bring the other person to recognition of the pain they caused, so they essentially say, I will never do that again.

Perhaps this is the only real evil left.
Anne Rice
Image
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.

It was as if when I looked into his eyes I was standing alone on the edge of the world...on a windswept ocean beach. There was nothing but the soft roar of the waves.

Evil is a point of view ... God kills, and so shall we indiscriminately ... for no creatures under God are as we are, none so like Him as ourselves. God kills indiscriminately and so shall we. For no creatures under God are as we are none so like him as ourselves.

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
Image
The vampire is an outsider. He's the perfect metaphor for those things. He's someone who looks human and sounds human, but is not human, so he's always on the margins.
Anne Rice
Image
Revenge is the concern of those who are at some point or other beaten. I am not beaten, I told myself. No, not beaten. And victory is far more interesting to contemplate than revenge.

Our language needs endless synonyms for beautiful the eyes could see what the tongue cannot possibly describe.

You never know the palette of the one you kill until the mind disgorges its finest colours.

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

But just remember, life without me would be even more unbearable.

I love the world the Lord has created I love the mountains, the rivers, the valleys, the skies. I love the forests, the fields, the flowers. I love the mysteries of evolution and dna and the big bang. I want to know the majesties of the Lord's Creation. I cannot close my eyes to all this. I cannot turn away from science and scientific exploration.

I cannot mislead people into believing that I support organized religion. In Jesus' name, I cannot be complicit with many of the things organized religion does.
Anne Rice

And what constitutes evil, real evil, is the taking of a single human life. Whether a man would die tomorrow or the day after or eventually... it doesn't matter. Because if God does not exist, then life... every second of it... Is all we have.
