Merciful death. How you love your precious guilt - Anne Rice

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

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

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

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