2 " I so seldom had to dispose of a human body myself, I was at a loss. Fairies turned into dust, and vampires flaked away. Demons had to be burned. Humans were very troublesome. "
3 " Appius Livius Ocella made mistakes in his whole long existence. Perhaps changing Eric was his finest hour. He created the perfect vampire. Eric's only flaw is you. "

5 " If this were the fifties, she’d be checking Sam’s collars for lipstick stains. (Did people do that anymore? Why did women kiss collars, anyway? Besides, Sam almost always wore T-shirts.) "
6 " Trees had died to make these forms, and that seemed a great pity to me. "
7 " What are you, Zen Master Fang? "
8 " I think it's 'only polite' that my wife should let me know when she's entertaining a male visitor, furthermore one that has shared her bed. "

12 " That was an idea I didn't want to have. But you can't erase a thought; once you've had it, it's there to stay. "
13 " I could just envision Sam imagining that I wanted him to go out to the lake with me, only to be confronted by Jannalynn and whatever she thought of as a romantic dinner -- live rabbits they could chase together, maybe. "
14 " For a moment they all looked at Dermot incredulously, as if he'd just announced he was going to birth a kangaroo. "
15 " Do you want a drink?” “You mean synthetic blood,” she said after a slight hesitation. “Yes, that would be nice. A sociable gesture.” “I’m all about the gestures. Bubba, you, too?” “Yes, ma’am, I reckon so,” he said. "
16 " You have a nice day, you hear? "
17 " But the last few years had taught me that one of my grandmother’s favorite sayings was true. An ounce of prevention was worth a pound of cure. "
18 " The fae were gone from America. Their departure point? Bon Temps, Louisiana. The woods behind my house. "
19 " Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me, "
20 " Eric shone like the moon; he was pale and commanding, and there was a large empty space around him. He was alone. He held out his hand to me, and I took it, to a flare of dismay from the twoeys. "
