Shakespeare's Counselor (Lily Bard, #5) QUOTES

1 " When I went home…I promised myself, I would take a cool shower and I would read. After a day spent dealing with others, television was just one more batch of voices to listen to; I’d rather have a book in my hands than the remote control. "

― Charlaine Harris , Shakespeare's Counselor (Lily Bard, #5)

2 " No one expected to be safe until this century, if you read a little history. Think of the thousands of years before- years with no law, when the sword ruled. No widespread system of justice; no immunizations against disease. The local lord free to kill the husbands, husbands free to rape and kill their wives. Childbirth often fatal. No antibiotics. It's only here and now that women are raised believing they'll be safe. And it serves us false. It's not true. It dulls our sense of fear, which saves our lives. "

― Charlaine Harris , Shakespeare's Counselor (Lily Bard, #5)

3 " Probably these children were not demonic. Possibly they were quite typical. But collectively, they were hell. "

― Charlaine Harris , Shakespeare's Counselor (Lily Bard, #5)
