“None of us really changes over time. We only become more fully what we are.”
― Anne Rice, The Vampire Lestat

“We shall live even in this state of living death, we shall love, we shall feel, we shall defy all who would judge and destroy us.”
― Anne Rice

“We all suffer under a curse, the curse that we know more than we can endure, and there is nothing, absolutely nothing we can do about the force and the lure of this knowledge.”
― Anne Rice, Vittorio, The Vampire

“My fear of life is necessary to me, as is my illness. Without anxiety and illness, I am a ship without a rudder. My art is grounded in reflections over being different from others. My sufferings are part of my self and my art. They are indistinguishable from me, and their destruction would destroy my art. I want to keep those sufferings.”
― Edvard Munch
