It's so easy to wish for death when nothing's wrong with you! It's so easy to fall in love with death, and I've been all my life, and seen it's most faithful worshippers crumble in the end, screaming just to live, as if all the dark veils and the lillies and the smell of candles, and grandiose promises of the grave meant nothing. I knew that. But I always wished I was dead. It was a way to go on living
Anne RiceHow could anyone love Him? What did you just tell me yourself about the world? Don't you see, everybody hates God now. It's not that God is dead in the twentieth century. It's that everybody hates Him! At least I think so.
Anne RiceWeโre going to die and not even know. Weโll never know, and all this meaninglessness will just go on and on and on. And we wonโt any longer be witnesses to it. We wonโt have even that little bit of power to give meaning to it in our minds. Weโll just be gone, dead, dead, dead, without ever knowing!
Anne RiceI'm usually working on my own mythology, my own realm of created characters. Stories in mythology inspire me, though I may not be conscious of it.
