Dead Ice (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter, #24) QUOTES

21 " She was tiny, less than five feet, but somehow didn’t seem that small; attitude can make up for inches. "

― Laurell K. Hamilton , Dead Ice (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter, #24)

22 " the law is enforced the way the law is written; it’s not about true justice, it’s about interpretation of the law and who has the best lawyer. "

― Laurell K. Hamilton , Dead Ice (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter, #24)

23 " It has been my experience that if you have the responsibility of leadership, you might as well have the jewelry to go with it. "

― Laurell K. Hamilton , Dead Ice (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter, #24)

24 " You’re just jealous.” “Of what, of you? Of you and Asher? I’m still having sex and bondage with Asher, because you’re vanilla. You’re a fucking freak emotionally, but in the bedroom you’re the gay male equivalent of missionary position with the lights off.” “Asher didn’t say that about me.” “If you weren’t too tame in bed for him, Kane, he wouldn’t still be fucking me and Nathaniel, and Jean-Claude. "

25 " If I hadn’t already said yes, and loved him to pieces, I’d have told him not only no, but hell no. "

― Laurell K. Hamilton , Dead Ice (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter, #24)

26 " I haven’t made anyone my hyena to call yet, Kane, did you remember that? One of the things I learned from the Mother of All Darkness was how to break the bonds between vampires and their servants. I could just take you from Asher, bind you to me, and thanks to the ardeur I would be your exception, Kane. You’d fuck me, because you’d crave me like a drug.” “No . . . lies.” “Oh, I’m not lying. Why tell a lie when the truth is so much more terrible?” “Bitch.” “Oh, Kane, you can do better than that.” “He’ll never . . . top you . . . again if you hurt me.” “Narcissus is going to kill Asher if he can, so he won’t be topping, or fucking, anyone.” “He loves Asher.” “You know, I think he does, but Asher never loves the people who love him the most; he always chases the ones who don’t want him, haven’t you figured that out yet?” “He loves me enough to . . . do this.” I nodded. “Yes, he does, because in you he’s finally found someone more problematic, more jealous, more of a shit, than he is—it’s only taken him six, seven hundred years to find someone who exemplifies his own worst traits. He’ll keep you close, Kane, I don’t know why, but he sees something in you he wants.” Kane swallowed, and his eyes were able to look at mine again. I got up still nude and left him lying on the floor with my towel curled up beside him. “You and Asher deserve each other, Kane, you really do. "

28 " sex was like money in the bank; if you made regular and sizable deposits, you earned more interest. Jean-Claude had earned a lot of interest over the years. "

― Laurell K. Hamilton , Dead Ice (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter, #24)

29 " Poly isn’t about being completely fair for most people. There are some who run it with a near perfect equality, but for most of us there are primary relationships, there are secondary, and even ones less serious than that. "

― Laurell K. Hamilton , Dead Ice (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter, #24)

30 " is it too much to ask for a little romance? "

― Laurell K. Hamilton , Dead Ice (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter, #24)

31 " Some well-meaning citizens had gotten freak shows closed down, but all the people who had protested and felt morally superior about it had other jobs. They could go out in the world and be “normal”; the “freaks” that they’d put out of work didn’t always have that option. Sometimes the freak show is your only option, and sometimes it’s the only place where you feel safe and okay. I really wish the “normal” people would leave us freaks alone and stop trying to save us. We get by, we take care of each other, and the people who cost the freaks their jobs didn’t give them employment, or a place to stay, or a family to be a part of; they just destroyed their world and felt morally superior for doing it. "

― Laurell K. Hamilton , Dead Ice (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter, #24)

32 " You can experience trauma without getting stuck as the victim forever. You can choose to work the shit and rebuild yourself, or you can sit in the ruins and mourn forever. "
