Anne Rice Quotes

Oh, must we dream our dreams and have them, too?

Texas is rich in unredeemed dreams

The mind lives through more, and the more cannot be fulfilled; that is impossible. IT ENDS IN TEARS. Every desire ends in frustration, because every expectation is the beginning of frustration. Why does every desire end in frustration? There are only two alternatives: either you achieve your object of desire or you don't achieve it, but in both cases it will end in tears. If you achieve it you will see the utter futility of it all.

Dreams and expectations also have the very dark flipside of disappointment, broken dreams.
