There comes a point when you either embrace who and what you are, or condemn yourself to be miserable all your days. Other people will try to make you miserable; don't help them by doing the job yourself.
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.
Love is too precious to be ashamed of.
Only love of a good woman will make a man question every choice, every action. Only love makes a warrior hesitate for fear that his lady will find him cruel. Only love makes a man both the best he will ever be, and the weakest. Sometimes all in the same moment. -Wicked
He was twenty. I remembered twenty. I'd known everything at twenty. It took me another year to realize I knew nothing. I was still hoping to learn something before I hit thirty, but I wasn't holding my breath.
Love sucks. Sometimes it feels good. Sometimes it's just another way to bleed.
My father had taught me to be nice first, because you can always be mean later, but once you've been mean to someone, they won't believe the nice anymore. So be nice, be nice, until it's time to stop being nice, then destroy them.
The truth may not set you free, but used carefully, it can confuse the hell out of your enemies.
Why is everything always my decision?" I asked.Because you will not tolerate anything else."Oh, I remembered now. "Great", I whispered.- Anita to Jean-Claude
I will bathe in your warmth ma petite. Roll you around me until my heart beats only for you. My breath will grow warm from your kiss.
Death didn't bother me much. Strong Christian and all that. Method of death did. Being eaten alive. One of my top three ways not to go out.
Accidental sex. He made it sound like I fell down, and there just happened to be an erection in the way.
I used to think I knew what was right and what was wrong, and who the good guys are, and who the bad guys are. Then the world got very gray, and I didn't know anything for a long time
I looked at Micah, who shrugged. I looked at Rafael, who shook his head. Nice that none of us knew why he was undressing.
Death, especially violent death, will turn the meanest bastard in the world into a nice guy. Why is that?
The rule is that if they have a weapon and want to take you someplace else, it is so they can kill you slower--Peter
Hope will lie to you, but lust is what it is; it never lies.
Neither love nor evil conquers all, but evil cheats more.
when you live forever and don't age, it gives you time to hope
I'd been willing to kill for the people I loved for a very long time; now I had to start living for them.
Still it might be nice, once in a while, not to have to choose between evils. Just once, couldn't I choose the lesser good?
His eyes widened just a bit, his lips flexed. I realized he was trying not to laugh. I hate it when people find my threats amusing.
You can't save everybody. In fact, there are days when I think you can't save anyone. Each person has to save himself first, then you can move in and help. I have found this philosophy does not work during a gun battle, or a knife fight either. Outside of that it works just fine.

It is a very natural human trait to destroy that which frightens us.

I'd never met coffee that wasn't wonderful. It was just a matter of how wonderful it was.
All I really wanted to do was cuddle back under the blankets, maybe with a certain stuffed toy penguin I knew. Yeah, hiding sounded good.
