More quotes by Charlaine Harris

Charlaine Harris
Most humans were on one big island, to the fairies, and that island was adrift on a sea called I Totally Don’t Care.
Charlaine Harris
I was embarrased, horrified and absolutely ready to jump him!
Charlaine Harris
I have lived one step away from losing my mind for years. I am quick and accurate in spotting unstable streaks in others.
Charlaine Harris
Something always turns up. It always seems darkest before the dawn. When God closes a door he opens a window. All things happen for a reason. Into every life a little rain must fall. What doesn't kill us makes us stronger.
Charlaine Harris
I realized that I was really tired of people popping on and off of my property like it was a train station on the supernatural railroad.
Charlaine Harris
You trust me? Eric sounded surprised. Yes. That's . . . crazy, Sookie.

The fundamentalists were equally stymied. “We were worried about Adam and Steve,” a Baptist minister said. “Should we have been more worried about Rover and Fluffy?
Charlaine Harris
I had two cups of coffee, put Eric's jeans in the washer, read a romance for awhile, and studied my brand-new Word of the Day calendar, a Christmas gift from Arlene. My first word of the New Year was 'exsanguinate.' This was probably not a good omen.
Charlaine Harris
