5 " Do you know what I think about crying? I think some people have to learn to do it. But once you learn, once you know how to really cry, there's nothing quite like it. I feel sorry for those who don't know the trick. It's like whistling or singing. "
― Anne Rice , Memnoch the Devil (The Vampire Chronicles, #5)
6 " Truth is a risky proposition. It's the nature of mediocre human beings to believe that lies are necessary, that they serve a purpose, that truth is subversive, that candor is dangerous, that the very scaffold of communal life is supported by lies. "
― Anne Rice , The Wolf Gift (The Wolf Gift Chronicles, #1)
7 " People who cease to believe in God or goodness altogether still believe in the devil... Evil is always possible. And goodness is eternally difficult. "

9 " I saw my real gods . . the gods of most men. Food, drink, and security in conformity. "
10 " Não importava que Deus no céu fosse católico, protestante ou hindu. O que importava era uma coisa mais profunda, mais antiga e mais forte do que qualquer imagem dessas: um conceito do bem baseado na afirmação da vida, na repulsa à destruição, à perversidade, ao uso e abuso do homem pelo homem. Era a afirmação do humano e do natural. "
― Anne Rice , The Witching Hour (Lives of the Mayfair Witches, #1)
11 " The Maker offers us creation itself as proof of his greatness. "
― Anne Rice , Prince Lestat and the Realms of Atlantis (The Vampire Chronicles, #12)
12 " Would that death were like this. Would that one would sleep and sleep and sleep forever. "
13 " And books, they offer one hope -- that a whole universe might open up from between the covers, and falling into that universe, one is saved. "
― Anne Rice , Blackwood Farm (The Vampire Chronicles, #9)

15 " Merciful death. How you love your precious guilt "
16 " The spirit who inhabits her animates us all. Destroy the host, you destroy the power. The young die first; the old wither slowly; the eldest perhaps would go last. But she is the Queen of the Damned, and the Damned can't live without her. "
― Anne Rice , The Queen of the Damned (The Vampire Chronicles, #3)
17 " I was just walking around saying “We’re all gonna die!” I never got over it. I went to class, I did what I had to do, but I was a gibbering idiot. It never went away. I never again felt the same way about life and death. "
18 " Go where the pain is, go where the pleasure is. "
19 " First-person narrators is the way I know how to write a book with the greatest power and chance of artistic success. "
20 " The atheism and nihilism of my earlier years now seems shallow, and even a bit cocky. "
