Citáty Anne Rice
„Chci dnes v noci dítě, jsem jako matka… Chci dítě!“
Lestat - Interview s upírem
„The young know how truly difficult and dreadful youth can be. Their youth is wasted on everyone else, that's the horror. The young have no authority, no respect.“
— Anne Rice, The Tale of the Body Thief
The Tale of the Body Thief (1992)
„Of course I deserve it,” I said, stroking Mojo. “That’s the simplest thing about dealing with me, apparently. I always deserve the worst! The worst disloyalty, the worst betrayal, the worst abandonment! Lestat the scoundrel. Well, they have left this scoundrel entirely on his own.“
— Anne Rice, The Tale of the Body Thief
The Tale of the Body Thief (1992)
„No matter how long we exist, we have our memories. Points in time which time itself cannot erase. Suffering may distort my backward glances, but even to suffering, some memories will yield nothing of their beauty or their splendor. Rather they remain as hard as gems.“
— Anne Rice, kniha Blood and Gold
Blood and Gold (2001)
„The truth is most women are weak, be they mortal or immortal. But when they are strong, they are absolutely unpredictable.“
— Anne Rice, kniha The Vampire Lestat
The Vampire Lestat (1985)
„For those who care, and I understand if you don't: Today I quit being a Christian. I'm out. I remain committed to Christ as always but not to being "Christian" or to being part of Christianity. It's simply impossible for me to "belong" to this quarrelsome, hostile, disputatious, and deservedly infamous group. For ten years, I've tried. I've failed. I'm an outsider. My conscience will allow nothing else. … In the name of Christ, I refuse to be anti-gay. I refuse to be anti-feminist. I refuse to be anti-artificial birth control. I refuse to be anti-Democrat. I refuse to be anti-secular humanism. I refuse to be anti-science. I refuse to be anti-life. In the name of Christ, I quit Christianity and being Christian. Amen.“

„Nothing in all the world is so nonsensical and contradictory, save mortals, that is, who live in the grip of the superstitions of the past.“
— Anne Rice, kniha The Vampire Lestat
The Vampire Lestat (1985)
„I want to know, for example, why beauty exists," she [Gabrielle] said, "why nature continues to contrive it, and what is the link between the life of a lightning storm with the feelings these things inspire in us? If God does not exist, if these things are not unified into one metaphorical system, then why do they retain for us such symbolic power? Lestat calls it the Savage Garden, but for me that is not enough.“
