Karen Marie Moning QUOTES

1 " One day you will kiss a man you can't breathe without, and find that breath is of little consequence. "

― Karen Marie Moning , Bloodfever (Fever, #2)

2 " Dying is overrated. Human sentimentality has twisted it into the ultimate act of love. Biggest load of bullshit in the world. Dying for someone isn't the hard thing. The man that dies escapes. Plain and simple. Game over. End of pain...Try living for someone. Through it all-good, bad, thick, thin, joy, suffering. That's the hard thing. "

― Karen Marie Moning , Shadowfever (Fever, #5)

3 " Desire makes life happen. Makes it matter. Makes everything worth it. Desire is life. Hunger to see the next sunrise or sunset, to touch the one you love, to try again.

'Hell would be waking up and wanting nothing,' he agrees. "

4 " It's just that in the Deep South, women learn at a young age that when the world is falling apart around you, it's time to take down the drapes and make a new dress. "

― Karen Marie Moning , Faefever (Fever, #3)

5 " I love books, by the way, way more than movies. Movies tell you what to think. A good book lets you choose a few thoughts for yourself. Movies show you the pink house. A good book tells you there's a pink house and lets you paint some of the finishing touches, maybe choose the roof style,park your own car out front. My imagination has always topped anything a movie could come up with. Case in point, those darned Harry Potter movies. That was so not what that part-Veela-chick, Fleur Delacour, looked like. "

6 " You, Ms. Lane, are a menace to others! A walking, talking catastrophe in pink! "

― Karen Marie Moning , Darkfever (Fever, #1)

7 " Was he a good kisser, Ms. Lane?” Barrons asked, watching me carefully.
I wiped my mouth with the back of my hand at the memory. “It was like being owned.”
Some women like that.”
Not me.”
Perhaps it depends on the man doing the owning.”
I doubt it. I couldn’t breathe with him kissing me.”
One day you may kiss a man you can’t breathe without, and find breath is of little consequence.”
Right, and one day my prince might come.”
I doubt he’ll be a prince, Ms. Lane. Men rarely are. "

8 " It's just another of Robin's sayings. Like, 'Holy strawberries, Batman, we're in a jam! Or, Holy Kleenex, Batman, it was right under our nose and we blew it! "

― Karen Marie Moning , Iced (Fever, #6)

9 " Words can be twisted into any shape. Promises can be made to lull the heart and seduce the soul. In the final analysis, words mean nothing. They are labels we give things in an effort to wrap our puny little brains around their underlying natures, when ninety-nine percent of the time the totality of the reality is an entirely different beast. The wisest man is the silent one. Examine his actions. Judge him by them. "

― Karen Marie Moning

10 " It's often only in the lies we refuse to speak that any truth can be heard at all. "

― Karen Marie Moning , Darkfever (Fever, #1)

11 " It's not enough to listen to their words. You have to mine their silences for buried ore. It's often only in the lies that we refuse to speak that truth can be heard at all. "

― Karen Marie Moning

12 " The entire time I'm burning in Hell, I'll regret each tear I made you weep. But if Hell were the price for twenty days with you, I'd condemn myself again and again.

- Cian MacKeltar "

― Karen Marie Moning , Spell of the Highlander (Highlander, #7)

13 " I have found there to be little distance between the unlatching of a chain and the spreading of a woman’s legs. As if they can never unbar only a single entrance. It’s a disease called hope. Women suffer from it greatly. "

― Karen Marie Moning , Burned (Fever, #7)

14 " Is anyone who's supposed to be dead actually dead? "

― Karen Marie Moning , Shadowfever (Fever, #5)

15 " You can’t give somebody faith. They either got it or they don’t. "

― Karen Marie Moning , Iced (Fever, #6)

16 " Strength wasn‘t about being able to do everything alone. Strength was knowing when to ask for help and not being too proud to do it. "

― Karen Marie Moning , Dreamfever (Fever, #4)

17 " I smack myself in the forehead. “Holy priceless collection of Etruscan snoods, they’re not moving!” I exclaim. There’s a choking noise over my head somewhere. “Etruscan snoods?” I glow quietly inside. Some accomplishments mean more than others. I am officially the Shit. Now and forever. “Dude, watch your question marks. I just pried one out of you.” “I have no idea what you’re talking about.” “Admit it, you lost your eternal fecking composure.” “You have an obsession with a delusion about how I end my sentences. What the fuck are Etruscan snoods?” “Dunno. It’s just another of Robin’s sayings. Like, ‘Holy strawberries, Batman, we’re in a jam!’ ” “Strawberries.” “Or, ‘Holy Kleenex, Batman, it was right under our nose and we blew it!’ "

― Karen Marie Moning , Iced (Fever, #6)

18 " His heavy-lidded gaze reflected a languor that had nothing to do with having just awakened, and there was no doubt what was on his mind. But this is no safe cherry picker, Gwen thought, growing more concerned by the moment.
This man looks like a cherry tree chopper-downer. "

― Karen Marie Moning , Kiss of the Highlander (Highlander, #4)

19 " With the Book hitching rides, hiding on people, guess we’re all going to be dressing like skanks for a while, huh? Skintight or skin. Dude, everybody’s everything’s gonna be hanging out, and some o’ those fat chicks at the abbey are gonna gross my eyeballs right outta my head. Muffin tops and camel toes, gah! "

20 " I love books, by the way, way more than movies. Movies tell you what to think. A good book lets you choose a few thoughts for yourself. "
