Chloe Neill QUOTES

1 " Family. Couldn't live with them, couldn't run a stake through them. "

― Chloe Neill , Blood Games (Chicagoland Vampires, #10)

2 " You string some letters together, and you make a word. You string some words together, and you make a sentence, then a paragraph, then a chapter. Words have power. "

― Chloe Neill , Firespell (The Dark Elite, #1)

3 " The world isn’t perfect, and some days it wears you down. You can either accept that, and face it, and be a help to others instead of a hindrance. Or you can decide the rules are too tough and they shouldn’t apply to you, and you can ignore them and make things harder for everybody else. Sometimes life is about being sad and doing things anyway. Sometimes it’s about being hurt and doing things anyway. The point isn’t perfection. The point is doing it anyway. "

― Chloe Neill , Biting Cold (Chicagoland Vampires, #6)

4 " There are those amongst us who have erred, deeply and significantly. Who have wounded the world and broken themselves. The worst of them lose themselves in their errors. The best of them crawl back, one foot at a time, and seek to amend their breaches. That is the way of the brave. "

― Chloe Neill , Wild Things (Chicagoland Vampires, #9)

5 " There are those amongst us who have erred, deeply and significantly. Who have wounded the world and broken themselves. The worst of them lose themselves in their errors. The best of them crawl back, one foot at a time, and seek to amend their breaches. That is the way of the brave.
-Gabriel Keene, Pack Apex, pp. 37 "

― Chloe Neill , Wild Things (Chicagoland Vampires, #9)

6 " Together the magicks swirled and danced around us, invisible but tangible, like an breeze. This wasn't defensive or offensive magic. It wasn't used to gather information, for strategy or diplomacy, or to fight a war against supernatural enemy.
It simply was.
It was fundamental, inexorable. It was nothing and everything, infinity and oblivion, from the magnificent furnace of a star to the electrons that hummed in an atom. It was life and death and everything in between, the urge to fight and grow and swim and fly. It was a cascade of water across boulders, the slow-moving advance of mountain glaciers, the march of time. "

― Chloe Neill , Wild Things (Chicagoland Vampires, #9)

7 " There are those among us who have erred, deeply and significantly. Who have wounded the world and broken themselves. The worst of them lose themselves in their errors. The best of them crawl back, one foot at a time, and seek to amend their breaches. That is the way of the brave. "

― Chloe Neill , Wild Things (Chicagoland Vampires, #9)

8 " If it was appropriate to judge a person based on her footwear - and it obviously was - I decided I liked her immediately. "

― Chloe Neill , Biting Bad (Chicagoland Vampires, #8)

9 " Snug pants, bandeau-type corset, and trim, motorcycle jacket. It was a fabulous outfit, but it was so urban-fantasy book cover "

― Chloe Neill , Twice Bitten (Chicagoland Vampires, #3)

10 " I knew the point wasn’t the victory, but pulling yourself together and crawling your way back. That was life. "

― Chloe Neill , Midnight Marked (Chicagoland Vampires, #12)

11 " Words have power? That sounds like you're into some Harry Potter juju. "

― Chloe Neill , Firespell (The Dark Elite, #1)

12 " Seriously, I’m totally weirded out by the girly nature of this conversation. And yet, it’s kinda like you’re growing up. Do you think Judy Blume made a book about adolescent vampires? Are You There God, It’s Me, Merit?” Mallory snorted, obviously pleased with herself. "

― Chloe Neill , Friday Night Bites (Chicagoland Vampires, #2)

13 " Top Gun,” I whispered to Lindsey. We’d started pointing out Luc’s ubiquitous pop culture references, having decided that because he cut his fangs in the Wild West, he’d been entranced by movies and television. You know, because living in a society of magically enhanced vampires didn’t require enough willing suspension of disbelief.
-Merit in Chloe Neill’s Friday Night Bites "

― Chloe Neill , Friday Night Bites (Chicagoland Vampires, #2)

14 " I wanted what most people wanted—love, companionship.
I wanted someone to touch. I wanted someone to touch me back.
I wanted someone to laugh with, someone who would laugh with me, laugh at me.
I wanted someone who looked and sawme . Not my power, not my position.
I wanted someone to say my name. To call out, “Merit,” when it was time to go, or when we arrived.
Someone who wanted to say to someone else, with pride, “I’m here with her. With Merit.”
I wanted all those things. Indivisibly.
But I didn’t want them from Morgan. "

― Chloe Neill , Friday Night Bites (Chicagoland Vampires, #2)

15 " if you can’t make a joke at a time like this, what’s the point of living? "

― Chloe Neill , Midnight Marked (Chicagoland Vampires, #12)

16 " You are incorrigible.”

“I know.” She sighed happily. “All the shit we’ve been through—all the shit I’ve been through—and I can still make lascivious jokes with the best of them. That’s impressive, Merit. That’s character. "

― Chloe Neill

17 " Who are they?” I whispered, as we took seats opposite each other.

Scout glanced up as she pulled notebooks and books from her bag. “The dragon ladies. They monitor lights-out, watch us while we study, and generally make sure that nothing fun occurs on their watch.”

“Awesome,” I said, flipping open my trig book. “I’m a fun hater myself. "

― Chloe Neill , Firespell (The Dark Elite, #1)

18 " PAPER TOWERS
The library was on the second floor of the House, not far from my room. It had two floors—the first held the majority of the books and a balcony wrapped in a wrought-iron railing held another set. It was a cavalcade of tomes, all in immaculate rows, and with study carrels and tables thrown in for good measure. It was my home away from home(away from home.
I walked inside and paused for a moment to breathe in the scent of paper and dust—the perfumes of knowledge. The library was empty of patrons as far as I could tell, but I could hear the rhythmic squeal of a library cart somewhere in the rows. I followed them down until I found the dark-haired vampire shelving books with mechanical precision. I knew him only as “the librarian.” He was a fount of information, and he had a penchant for leaving books outside my door. "

― Chloe Neill , Drink Deep (Chicagoland Vampires, #5)

19 " The world has a lot to offer. There’s a lot to explore. I like to take advantage of that. "

― Chloe Neill , Drink Deep (Chicagoland Vampires, #5)

20 " They blew out a breath and did the thing all heroes must do—they took that terrifying first step. "

― Chloe Neill , Midnight Marked (Chicagoland Vampires, #12)
