We’re going to die and not even know. We’ll never know, and all this meaninglessness will just go on and on and on. And we won’t any longer be witnesses to it. We won’t have even that little bit of power to give meaning to it in our minds. We’ll just be gone, dead, dead, dead, without ever knowing!

Suffering of sentient beings is like decay it fertilizes the growth of their souls.
Anne Rice
Image
I think love can save the world. When we love, we completely recognize the value of the other.
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
I no longer represent any organized religion. I'm not Catholic. I'm not Christian. I'm saying this because I have to be an outsider for Christ.

Go where the pain is, go where the pleasure is.

I loved words. I love to sing them and speak them and even now, I must admit, I have fallen into the joy of writing them.

I'm always looking, and I'm always asking questions.

We are not damned. We never were. Who under the sun has the right to damn any living breathing creature?
Anne Rice
Image
It was over now, and the meaningless world was tolerable and need not be explained. And never would it be, and how foolish I had ever been to think so.

Strong women are absolutely unpredictable.

So we reach into the raging chaos, and we cling to it, and we tell ourselves it has meaning, and that the world is good, and we are not evil, and we will all go home in the end.
