“Everyday is a bank account, and time is our currency. No one is rich, no one is poor, we've got 24 hours each.”

Christopher Rice
“Fear cannot touch me…It can only taunt me,It cannot take me,Just tell me where to go…I can either follow,Or stay in my bed…I can hold onTo the things that I know…The dead stay dead,They cannot walk.The shadows are darkness.And darkness cannot talk” ― Christopher Rice
“If you spend enough time in the past, everyone turns into a villain,” ― Christopher Rice, The Moonlit Earth
“Good horror offers a sense of an upended, lawless world and that’s appealing to anyone who grew up feeling like an outsider.” ― Christopher Rice
“Somedays you have to write even when you think you're putting out crap. You just need to tell yourself that you'll fix the problems later, and by then, they might not even be "problems" anymore. The challenge of writing a novel has always been to let loose with a beautifully flawed first draft, and to constantly fight belief you're chiseling words in stone each time you type.” ― Christopher Rice
“Apologies aren’t worth shit. Apologies are a string of words people put together so they can off-load their guilt in five minutes.” ― Christopher Rice, Bone Music
“That’s what guilt truly is, Scott realizes, a fishhook’s tug on the third or fourth minute of every happy moment.” ― Christopher Rice, The Vines
“I think you write because it’s easier than talking,” ― Christopher Rice, A Density of Souls
“I fear horror became so inextricably related to splatter punk in the late 1980s that a large segment of the audience turned away from it. And thriller became the more comfortable, cozier label because it promised a resolution, a happy ending. Horror came to mean, “I’m going to leave your ass out here in the dark with no way to get home. And one of your legs is missing.” ― Christopher Rice
“I wondered if I was more addicted to being sad than I was to bourbon or cocaine.” ― Christopher Rice, Light Before Day
“You told me about what you called the light in the darkness. About how life was neither good nor bad, but a combination of both and occasionally good things pop up in the middle of tragedy, but they still don't make the tragedy go away. They can't protect you. They're just light. But what you didn't say is that sometimes, certain people can be a light in the darkness. There are some people in this world who are worth saving when other people decide they shine the wrong kind of light on the wrong kind of things. You have been and will always be my light in the darkness.” ― Christopher Rice
“When we hurt people just to punish them, Luanne used to say, we create a darkness that will live on long after our reasons for giving birth to it have faded.” ― Christopher Rice, Bone Music
“Make a beautiful mess and clean it up later.” ― Christopher Rice
“A sense of peace comes over her. She realizes, for the first time in her life, that deciding to be strong doesn’t mean you get to decide what you’ll endure and when.” ― Christopher Rice, Blood Echo
“People talked about therapy and change and the power of Christ, but maybe you just had to wake up one day and say you weren't going to do it anymore, you just weren't going to act like someone who felt that way, and you had to begin by saying words that felt strange on your tongue, even if they resonated inside your heart.” ― Christopher Rice
“When an entire group of people come together and try to make some kind of identity out of what they don't have, they usually end up convincing themselves they can do whatever they damn well please.” ― Christopher Rice
“... dançava para si mesmo, um homem nu entre cegos...” ― Christopher Rice
“Somewhere out there, she thinks, there must be a man who wasn’t raised to believe his every cough in a woman’s presence is somehow a gift to her.” ― Christopher Rice, Bone Music
“Look at any city through the right memories and it could become a graveyard as haunted as a former battlefield.” ― Christopher rice
