That process by which you become a writer is a pretty lonely one. We don't have a group apprenticeship like a violinist might training for an orchestra.
Anne Rice
Image
Don't bend don't water it down don't try to make it logical don't edit your own soul according to the fashion. Rather, follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly. Only if you do that can you hope to make the reader feel every particle of what you, the writer, have known and feel compelled to share.---Forward to Kafka's Short stories
Anne Rice
Image
We have such a terrible, terrible misconception of science. We think it involves the definite, the precise, the known it is a horrid series of gates to an unknown as vast of the universe which means endless.
Anne Rice

Don't let the old story repeat itself now. Arm yourself with all that's happened.

My body is no schoolboy.

This suffering, this unspeakable capacity to bleed and to know pain and to know annihilation, is what has to be overcome in this world if anyone is to reach God.
Anne Rice
Image
The old gods will bring about vengeance not so much because they exist but because I once honored them.

I thought The Shining was just absolutely wonderful. Stephen King reaches all kinds of people. In the beginning he was just dismissed out of hand, which was terrible.
Anne Rice
Image
And I loved this moment for all it's pain...We seemed for a moment like two parts of the same thing.
Anne Rice
Image
It is not man who is the enemy of the human species. It is the irrational it is the spiritual when it is divorced from the material from the lesson in one beating heart or one bleeding vein.

Lestat: Toughen up baby. I'm looking for the eternal scum.

The greatest create of power you have on earth, whether you are an angel, a spirit, a man or woman or child is to help others.
Anne Rice
Image
A perfect world or a world destroyed, one or the other- someday will come the end of hell.
Anne Rice
Image
I picture heaven as a vast library, with unlimited volumes to read. And paintings and statues to examine galore. I picture it as a great doorway to learning...rather than one great dull answer to all our questions
Anne Rice
Image
I didn’t look to the shore much after this first long and memorable glimpse. I looked up at Heaven and her court of mythical creatures fixed forever in the all powerful and inscrutable stars. Ink black was the night beyond them, and they so like jewels that old poetry came back to me, the sound even of hymns sung only by men.
Anne Rice

And this lesson about mortal peace of mind I never forgot. Even if a ghost is ripping a house to pieces, throwing in pans all over, pouring water of pillows, making clocks chime at all hours, mortal will accept almost any natural explanation offered, no matter how absurd, rather than the obvious supernatural one, for what is going on.

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.

Phil was mumbling that Reuben might become a writer after all and writers had a way of redeeming everything that ever happens to them.
Anne Rice
Image
Life itself must be founded upon the infinite possibility for choice and accident. And if we cannot prove that it is, we must believe that it is. We must believe that we can change, that we can control, that we can direct our own destinies.

All the mortal world is a lethal enemy during those hours between dawn and dusk.
