| 3c9d16d | Life is like the big wheel at Luna Park. You pay five francs and go into a room with tiers of seats all around, and in the centre the floor is made of a great disc of polished wood that revolves quickly. At first you sit down and watch the others. They are all trying to sit in the wheel, and they keep getting flung off, and that makes them laugh too. It's great fun. You see, the nearer you can get to the hub of the wheel the slower it is mo.. | Evelyn Waugh | ||
| a6c500c | I distrust pious phrases, especially when they issue from my mouth. I try militantly never to be affected by the pious language of the faithful but it is always coming out when you least expect it. In contrast to the pious language of the faithful, the liturgy is beautifully flat. | Flannery O'Connor | ||
| 14c44b5 | We are now living in an age which doubts both fact and value. It is the life of this age that we wish to see and judge. | writing | Flannery O'Connor | |
| 561d810 | He knew that he was the stuff of which fanatics and madmen are made and that he had turned his destiny as if with his bare will. He kept himself upright on a very narrow line between madness and emptiness and when the time came for him to lose his balance he intended to lurch toward emptiness and fall on the side of his choice. | Flannery O'Connor | ||

| 4032dfc | Let me make no bones about it: I write from the standpoint of Christian orthodoxy. Nothing is more repulsive to me than the idea of myself setting up a little universe of my own choosing and propounding a little immoralistic message. I write with a solid belief in all the Christian dogmas. | postmodernism | Flannery O'Connor | |
| 9c9e0a5 | There is the house whose people sit in darkness; dust is their food and clay is their meat. They are clothed like birds with wings for covering, they see no light, they sit in darkness. I entered the house of dust and I saw the kings of the earth, their crowns put away for ever... | Anonymous | ||

| 62b41f6 | Best hope for what, Catman? Death? Bankruptcy? You know, my life was going along...well, rather crappily, to be honest, but at least no one was trying to kill me and no one was dying around me. Since I met you, my life has taken the high road to Shitsville, with no off-ramp in sight. (Susan) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| de44430 | As the great poet wrote, 'To thine own self be true.'...What? You don't think a Skotos can be literate? I happen to love Shakespeare. Hamlet is one of my faves. (Zeth) I'm not touching that one with tongs and a gas mask. (Jericho) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 5784cab | I am glad that though someone did me grossly wrong my final mark on this world is not one of countering hurt with more hurt but is one of love and friendship. We will always be known by our actions. Let them always be good ones. | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 5739690 | Now, if I could get Mark to put down his phone and stop taking breaks, we'd be able to finish up before Oprah comes on." - Bubba "Bubba, what are you going to do when they cancel her show?" - Caleb "Shut your mouth, boy. That's sacrilege in this store. You talk like that, and I'll toss you through the window like an old-timey hobo in a Western." - Bubba" | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 46824b8 | Come on, Megeara. Walk on the wild side with me. Let's get naked and ruin Solin's upholstery. It serves two purposes. We're happy and he's pissed. (Arik) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 91df32d | You must be Pain in the Nick." - Dev "Huh?" - Nick "Don't wet your pets. Just a figure of speech. Your mom's been talking about you all day, boy. You are her favorite topic." - Dev "Well, I try hard not to be her favorite hemorrhoid." - Nick" | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| f944ecc | What are you? Stupid? Of course they have a guard. What part of 'You're a prisoner' did you miss? (Delphine) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 16faea6 | Are you out of your collective minds? I swear I can't leave you two alone for three seconds that you don't go off and hurt yourselves.

| 2a2fa0a | Don't you two girls have something better to do, like pick out toe lint? (Acheron) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| adaef1e | How many demons and people are enslaved here? (Jericho) Define slavery. (Asmodeus) Kept against their will. (Jericho) Good definition. Counting me? (Asmodeus) Why not? (Jericho) Probably a couple of million...you know it's really hard to count to a million, plus they're always dying and new ones are coming in. I tried to count once, but it got really depressing so I stopped. The constant adding and subtracting. Not my forte, really. (Asmode.. | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 437d8fb | You were right. My whole crew. Gone. Arrested. Perfect. Shoot me now and save me the expense of a bullet later. (Tory) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| eb5b4bc | What's this? (Fang) One for all and all for fun, my friend. You didn't think I'd let you fight demons all on your own, did you? (Thorn) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| de19b47 | The man hates your guts more than Stryker does. You'll be lucky if he doesn't pull your spine out through your nostrils. (Tory) Nice to have Miss Merry Sunshine back again. Any other Eeyore outlooks you'd like to share? (Acheron) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| bebe883 | Works for me. For the ones we love, today we're allies. Tomorrow we resume our natural order of mortal enemies. Gentlemen, and I use that term loosely for all of us, have we an accord? (Acheron) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 9655672 | First of all, you don't want me to get too hungry. Ever. I'm an ever worse bastard than normal and having starved for centuries, I'm not about to deprive myself again when I don't have to. Second, let me tell you something about your 'friends.' Deimos held me down while I was branded and then took me to the human realm where I was left with nothing. No clothes, no money. Not a damn thing to call my own. Hence the aforementioned starvation. .. | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 9a928ea | Why would you help us? (Delphine) I hear stupidity is a fatal disease. Doing my own experimentation to see if that's true or not. If I survive, we'll know it's not. If I die...well, it'll suck. Bad. And I won't be happy. (Asmodeus) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 6e046e9 | Sunny, tell me truthfully, what are your intentions toward Talon? (Selena) What are you? His mom? I promise I'll respect him in the morning. (Sunshine) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 547476a | Life isn't supposed to be easy. Ever. But with the hardest challenges go the greatest rewards. And every incredible moment of my life came only after I did something that made my gut clench with fear. | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||

| 7bd43fc | What's the one thing you want more than any other, prince?""My wife."Dionysus rolled his eyes. "Okay, what's the second thing you want?""My son."This time the god expelled a long exasperated breath. "Third? And if you name another family member, I will leave you here with Apollo, so help me, Zeus."Sadly, Styxx had no other family to name and only one other thing he craved. "To die.""Ah, you can be taught. Yah! And yeah, death. You kill Ache.. | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| ed807f6 | You risked the cub? (Dev) He's not just a cub. (Aimee) You're right. He's the passenger who fell off the short bus. (Dev) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 52963b0 | No one has ever touched me like you do. You're like a whisper. Gentle, soft. Soothing. In my world, the people only shout and scream. But you... you're my haven. " ... "God, you're good" | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| be8d6a7 | When you love someone... truly love them, friend or lover, you lay your heart open to them. You give them a part of yourself that you give to no one else, and you let them inside a part of you that only they can hurt--you literally hand them the razor with a map of where to cut deepest and most painfully on your heart and soul. And when they do strike, it's crippling--like having your heart carved out. It leaves you naked and exposed | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 60e1e5b | Really? So you brought home a vampire? Cool. (Starla) I'm not a vampire. (Talon) 'Not exactly,' he said earlier. What's not exactly a vampire? (Sunshine) A werewolf. With his aura, it makes sense. Wow, Sunny, you found yourself a werewolf. (Starla) I'm not a werewolf. (Talon) What a pity. You know, when you live in New Orleans, you expect to meet the undead or damned at least once in a while. (She looked back to Sunshine.) You think we shou.. | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| ec09ff3 | I don't know," Valerius said. " I hear some godawful kind of music from outside, horns blaring, and I'm in a house with a mohawk cuckoo bird, a transvestite, and a knife-weilding lunatic." "Why are You at Tabitha's?" Acheron asked" | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 39159d9 | See, Sway, that's what you get for flunking your pilot's test six times...which I'm pretty sure is a record of some sort. If not for the actual flunking, definitely for the persistence in pursuing that which you obviously have no talent for. Personally, I wouldn't let you fly a remote-control kid's plane. (Vik) Shut up before I find a can opener. (Sway) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 4304131 | Fang let out a low whistle. "Anyone know that Amazons could ride a giant bird?" Ethon gave him a duh stare. "Those of us who fought them, yeah, we know. How you think they keep kicking our asses?" "Cause you're pansies. Everyone knows that." | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 06b5aa6 | I hate over-privileged people in general. You just happen to fall into that category. No offense. But Nykyrian said you weren't a total bitch so I'll trust him until you make him out a liar. (Hauk) You seriously lack social skills, don't you? (Kiara) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| a02c6da | Don't give me that pseudo quasi psychobabble bullshit, Ash. I'm tired, I had my ass kicked, I'm still worried about Cassandra, Erik, and Chris, and I really feel like shit. Just once in eternity, answer one fucking question. (Wulf) I will not tamper with free will or fate, Wulf. Not for you, not for anything. There is no power on this earth or beyond that could make me do such a thing. (Acheron) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 615aff7 | I scoured myself with lye soap from head to toe to get the evil funk of demon snot off me. I have flossed things the gods never meant to be flossed and used things that would be toxic to most living organisms. All to sanitize my body for your chewing pleasure. | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| d91d822 | I feel I should warn you, I'm in a really bad mood. (Syn) You'll be in a worse mood when we haul you in dead! (a Partini) 'Syn grimaced in pain at a comment so stupid it didn't even rate a snotty comeback.' (Syn) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 92262ab | What am I supposed to do while you're gone? (Shahara) Think up ways to kill me while I sleep. (Syn) | Sherrilyn Kenyon |
