Anne Rice

"Would that death were like this. Would that one would sleep and sleep and sleep forever."

"Merciful death. How you love your precious guilt"

"You do have a story inside you; it lies articulate and waiting to be written — behind your silence and your suffering."

"I was good and bad, but never wicked."

"First-person narrators is the way I know how to write a book with the greatest power and chance of artistic success."
