To learn and to love, that is what we are here for, any activity which is not grounded in one of these two is a waste of time.

Hell's Bells ringing, my secret music.
Anne Rice
Image
It was as if this night were only one of thousands of nights, world without end, night curving into night to make a great arching line of which I couldn’t see the end, a night in which I roamed alone under cold, mindless stars.

Anne Rice
Image
Mortal beauty often makes me ache, and mortal grandeur can fill me with that longing...but Paris, Paris drew me close to her heart, so I forgot myself entirely. Forgot the damned and questing preternatural thing that doted on mortal skin and mortal clothing. Paris overwhelmed, and lightened and rewarded more richly than any promise.

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.

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

To really ask is to open the door to the whirlwind. The answer may annihilate the question and the questioner.

I was typing away while everybody was dropping acid and smoking grass. I was known as my own square.

The human heart is my school.

We shall live even in this state of living death, we shall love, we shall feel, we shall defy all who would judge and destroy us.

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

Get thee behind me, tragedy.

You reach deep down and bring up what feels absolutely authentic to you as you move along with the book, but you don't know everything about it. You can't.
