I Got Out My Jar Of Ointment. I Knew Animators Who Had Special Containers For The Ointment. Crockery, Hand-blown Glass, Mystical Symbols Carved Into The Sides.

You Cannot Die Of Grief, Though It Feels As If You Can. A Heart Does Not Actually Break, Though Sometimes Your Chest Aches As If It Is Breaking. Grief Dims With Time. It Is The Way Of Things. There Comes A Day When You Smile Again, And You Feel Like A Traitor. How Dare I Feel Happy. How Dare I Be Glad In A World Where My Father Is No More. And Then You Cry Fresh Tears, Because You Do Not Miss Him As Much As You Once Did, And Giving Up Your Grief Is Another Kind Of Death.

You Will Never Lose Your Nerve. Your Life, Probably, But Never Your Nerve.

The Greeks Believed That Once There Were No Male And Female, That All Souls Were One. Then The Souls Were Torn Apart, Male And Female. The Greeks Thought That When You Found The Other Half Of Your Soul, Your Soul Mate, That It Would Be Your Perfect Lover But I Think If You Find Your Other Half, You Would Be Too Much Alike To Be Lovers, But You Would Still Be Soul Mates.

Perfection Is An Unattainable Goal. It Isn't Going To Be Perfect. Just Get Words Down On Paper, And When You Stumble To What You Think Is The End Of The Book, You Will Have Hundreds Of Pages Of Words That Came Out Of Your Head. It May Not Be Perfect, But It Looks Like A Book.

Vampires Can Live A Very Long Time, Theoretically Forever, Which Means Their Idea Of Getting Down To Business Can Be Damn Leisurely.

There Comes A Point When You Just Love Someone. Not Because They're Good, Or Bad, Or Anything Really. You Just Love Them. It Doesn't Mean You'll Be Together Forever. It Doesn't Mean You Won't Hurt Each Other. It Just Mean You Love Them. Sometimes In Spite Of Who They Are, And Sometimes Because Of Who They Are. And You Know That They Love You, Sometimes Because Of Who You Are, And Sometimes In Spite Of It.

Trust Me, Anita, If You Get Dead, Especially If He Blames Himself In Any Way, He Will Be A Force Of Destruction Looking For A Place To Be Aimed. And He's Blamed Himself For Introducing You To Olaf Here From The Get-go. If Olaf Did To You What He's Done To Some Of His Other Victims, Edward Would Drown The World In Blood To Erase Those Images.

Edward's Grief If You Die Will Be A Terrible Thing. It Will Hurt Him, A Lot, And Men Like Him Never Grieve Alone. He Will Spread His Grief All Over Us, Not Because We Failed, But Because It'll Give Him Something To Focus On So He Doesn't Have To Feel The Pain.

One Of The Many Reasons That Padma Will Always Be A Secondary Power On The Council Is His Belief That All Power Must Be Taken, That All Power Must Come Through Fear. True Power Comes When Others Offer It To You And You Merely Accept It As A Gift, Not As The Spoils Of Some Personal War.

But If Anything Will Turn Me Off, It's A Very Practiced Approach, As If The Man Has Done It A Thousand Times Before, To A Lot Of Different Women. Which Always Seems To Imply That I Am No Different From All The Rest. Not Flattering.

Graves Are For The Living, Not The Dead. It Gives Us Something To Concentrate On Instead Of The Fact That Our Loved One Is Rotting Under The Ground.

Larry Is Back In Town...the Wedding Is Set For October. Tammy Is Threatening To Have Me In The Wedding. Some Friends They Are.

Larry Had Brought Me Blue Jeans, A Red Polo Shirt, Jogging Socks, My White Nikes, An Extra Cross From My Suitcase, The Silver Knives, The Firestar Complete With Inner Pants Holster, And The Browning And Its Shoulder Holster. He'd Forgotten A Bra, But Hey, Except For That It Was Perfect.

I Spent The Next Fifteen Minutes Convincing A Crying Werewolf That I Wasn’t Going To Hurt Her. My Life Was Getting Too Strange, Even For Me.

If You Love Someone, Truly Love Them, You Should Never Cause Them Pain. Never Fill Their Eyes With Something So Close To Grief.

Everyone Has Their Weaknesses. Some People Smoke. I Collect Stuffed Penguins. If You Won't Tell, I Won't.

It Is Mine And The Traveling Of It Has Made Me Who I Am, And Continues To Shape And Remold Me Into The Best, Happiest, Most Productive, Most Playful Me, I've Ever Been.

Women May Get To Wear Lots Of Pretty Colors, But Men Get The Comfortable Shoes. Anita Blake Vampire Hunter

I'm Pro-choice Because I've Never Been A Fourteen-year-old Incest Victim Pregnant By Her Father, Or A Woman Who's Going To Die If The Pregnancy Continues, Or A Rape Victim, Or Even A Teenager Who Made A Mistake.

Sex Is Like Crying, It Does Look Pretty If You Really Do It

I Cannot Say How Strongly I Object To People Using Other People's Writing As Research. Research Is Non-fiction, Especially For Horror, Fantasy, Science Fiction. Do Not Take Your Research From Other People's Fiction. Just Don't.
