Let the flesh instruct the mind.
Anne Rice
Image
There are too many other inexplicable things around us--horrors, threats, mysteries that draw you in and then inevitably disenchant you. Back to the predictable and humdrum. The prince is never going to come, everybody knows that and maybe Sleeping Beauty's dead.
Anne Rice
Image
Oh to have you with me, to have you here, not to be alone, but to be with you, my beauty, you of all souls! You.
Anne Rice
Image
Because, she said, that is what men would call it. They invented Satan, didn't they? Satanic is merely the name they give to the behavior of those who would disrupt the orderly way in which men want to live.

The old gods will bring about vengeance not so much because they exist but because I once honored them.
Anne Rice
Image
The whole theme of Interview with the Vampire was Louis's quest for meaning in a godless world. He searched to find the oldest existing immortal simply to ask, What is the meaning of what we are?
Anne Rice
Image
I believe in the Biblical documents supporting Jesus. But I have no illusions about them. I think they contain many flaws, scribal errors, and so forth and they are only partial or fragmentary.
Anne Rice
Image
In the spring of 1988, I returned to New Orleans, and as soon as I smelled the air, I knew I was home. It was rich, almost sweet, like the scent of jasmine and roses around our old courtyard. I walked the streets, savoring that long lost perfume.

My greatest sin has always been that I have a wonderful time being myself
Anne Rice
Image
The truth is, laughter always sounds more perfect than weeping. Laughter flows in a violent riff and is effortlessly melodic. Weeping is often fought, choked, half strangled, or surrendered to with humiliation.
Anne Rice
Image
I am an unwilling devil. I cry like some vagrant child. I want to go home.
Anne Rice
Image
But I still did not realize how mad she was, and how accustomed to dreaming and that she would not cry out for reality, rather would feed reality to her dreams, a demon elf feeding her spinning wheel with the reeds of the world so she might make her own weblike universe.
Anne Rice

The supernatural world has always been more real to me than the real world.
Anne Rice

I'm Gentleman Death in silk and lace, come to put out the candles. The canker in the heart of the rose.
