More quotes by Anne Rice
Sometimes dreams show me that my writing should go deeper. Dreams have not so much changed my work as deepened it.
Anne Rice
Your quest is for darkness only. This sea is not your sea. The myths of men are not your myths. Men's treasures are not yours.
Anne Rice
What if I could give you your life back pluck out the pain and give you a world of unimaginable beauty that would be for all time.
Anne Rice
My life's been too much of a self-created vocation. And there are times when I think I've done everything in the name of defiance.
Anne Rice
Maybe that's what Hell is. You go mad. And all your demons come and get you just as fast as you can think them up.
Anne Rice
I was obsessed with religious questions, the basics: Why are we here? Why is the world so beautiful?
Anne Rice
We need to stop fighting Christian against Christian. I have no time for anything but trying to love other people. That is a full-time job.
Anne Rice
Don't you see? It is a new age. It requires a new evil. And I am that new evil.
Anne Rice
...what was the good of being a movie werewolf? You howled at the moon you couldn't remember what you did, and then somebody shot you.
Anne Rice
I can't get very far away from Christianity, I can't get very far away from the angels and the saints. I work them in always, in some way.
Anne Rice
I assume as a child Jesus had to learn how to do carpentry, learn Torah, learn all the things a human child had to learn. If He was human in all ways except that He did not sin, this must have been the case.
Anne Rice
In the very depths of Hell, do not demons love one another?
Anne Rice
Oh, but when love is reached through suffering, it has a power it can never gain through innocence.
Anne Rice
The only power that exists is inside ourselves.
Anne Rice
The fact that I loved you was the greatest lie I have ever lived.
Anne Rice
I hear the birds singing. Listen. I hear them in their cage. The others-all our kind who know of her-they think of her as heartless, but she wasn't heartless. She was only aware of things which I didn't learn till so many decades had passed. She knew secrets that only suffering can teach.
Anne Rice
I am an unwilling devil. I cry like some vagrant child. I want to go home.
Anne Rice
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.
Anne Rice
We all suffer under a curse, the curse that we know more than we can endure, and there is nothing, absolutely nothing we can do about the force and the lure of this knowledge.
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.
Anne Rice
