I was obsessed with religious questions, the basics: Why are we here? Why is the world so beautiful?
Anne Rice

My heart right now is totally connected to a book called The Servant of the Bones, which is not in any way connected with vampires or witches. It's about a new hero, a ghost, who really doesn't particularly like the job that he's been given. I'm in love with this hero and in love with his dilemma.

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.

Let the spirits witness: for theirs is the knowledge of the future - both what it would be, and what I will: You are the Queen of the Damned, that's what you are! Evil is your only destiny. But at your greatest hour, it is I who will defeat you. Look well on my face. It is I who will bring you down.

I never knew what life was until it ran out in a red gush over any lips, my hands!
Anne Rice

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.

And when a strong man is sweet, even Goddesses look down from Mount Olympus.

The earth here is beautiful. And it still belongs to the dead.
Anne Rice
Image
I don't like myself you know. I love myself. I'm devoted to myself till my dying day. But I don't like myself.

The highest truths a person could discover were rooted in the natural world.
Anne Rice
Image
The evil of one murder is infinite, and my guilt is like my beauty - eternal. I cannot be forgiven, for there is no one to forgive me for all I've done.

Amazing what the British do with language the nuances of politeness. The world's great diplomats, surely.

It is very disturbing to see people use Christianity and the Bible to support a certain political agenda, especially when one cannot connect that agenda with the authentic teachings of Christ.

Suppose death had a heart to love and to release you, to whom would he turn this passion, would you chose a person from the crowd there. A person to suffer as you suffer.

Memnoch the Devil happen to be my favorite of all The Vampire Chronicles.

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.
