1 " I knew from the moment I heard you, the moment I saw the gun and realized that this lovely, petit woman was the executioner, that you would never die waiting for me to save you - that you would save yourself. "
― Laurell K. Hamilton , Narcissus in Chains (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter, #10)
2 " I looked at Micah, who shrugged. I looked at Rafael, who shook his head. Nice that none of us knew why he was undressing. "
3 " He will not let you come barging in to his world like the proverbial bull in the china shop. "
4 " Make them fear you. Machiavelli said it nearly six hundred years ago, but it's still true. Every ruler should strive for his people to love him. But if they cannot love you, then make them fear you. Love is better, but fear will do the job. "
5 " If you’re alive, don’t move, if you’re dead, don’t worry about it. "
6 " Sticks and stones will break your bones, but failure will get you killed. "
7 " Every ruler should strive for his people to love him. But if they cannot love you, then make them fear you. Love is better, but fear will do the job. "
8 " It wasn't just my beast's hunger, but Jean-Claude's blood thirst and Richard's craving for flesh. It was all that and the ardeur running through all of it, so that one hunger fed into the next in an endless chain, a snake eating it's own tail, an Ouroboros of desires. "
9 " Maybe they know what I know, that the true way to a man's heart is six inches of metal between his ribs. Sometimes four inches will do the job, but to be really sure, I like to have six. "
10 " Maybe they know what I know, that the true way to a man's heart is six inches of metal between his ribs. Sometimes four inches will do the job, but to be really sure, I like to have six. Funny how phallic objects are always more useful the bigger they are. Anyone who tells you size doesn't matter has been seeing too many small knives. "
11 " The heart wants what it wants, Dolp. You don't plan on making your life complicated, it just happens,and you don"t do it on purpose, and you don't do it to hurt people who love you. It just turns out that way sometimes. "
12 " I know the universe has a sense of irony, and sometimes you get reminded just how sadistic that can be. "
13 " She stared up at me, and there was something in her eyes, something that said we finally had an understanding. She was afraid of me, and sometimes that’s the best you can do with people. I’d tried kindness. I’d tried friendship. I’d tried respect. But when all else fails, fear will do the job. "
14 " Without hope, love dies and parts of you wither. "
15 " Sometimes the greatest wounds are the ones we try the hardest not to inflict. "
16 " If it works out, it's the best thing in the world. If it doesn't work out, it's like having your heart torn out and chopped up into little pieces while you watch. It leaves a big hollow space that never really heals. "
17 " Anyone who tells you size doesn't matter has been seeing too many small knives. "
18 " Maybe you’re not willing to give up a lover who’s colder than you are. "
19 " If you're too damn stubborn to let yourself cry, then your body finds other ways to let it out. "
20 " I wasn't afraid of him anymore, because I could smell his fear. You never had to be afraid of anything that was afraid of you. "
