I'm supposed to be a christian, but most days I don't feel like I can even presume to say that about myself any longer. I have a lot of mad left over. When I can't sleep, I think about the other people who didn't care how much pain and trouble they caused me. And I think about how good I'd feel if they died.

Charlaine Harris
My bullshit meter is reading that as 'false'.
Charlaine Harris
Do I look like I have anything ? I asked him, in a reasonable voice. He looked as unnerved as the nurse had. He said, Sorry, and backed away. I took a step after him. I screamed, I HAVE NOTHING! And then I said, in a perfectly calm voice, See, I never had anything to start with.
Charlaine Harris
I drank lots of water and orange juice and took a multivitamin and iron supplement for breakfast, which was my regimen since Bill had come into my life and brought (along with love, adventure, and excitement) the constant threat of anemia.
Charlaine Harris
Here’s to books, the cheapest vacation you can buy.
Charlaine Harris
Come on, lover, let's have a look, Eric said, giving me a quick kiss. He jumped off the back porch with me still attached to him—like a large barnacle
Charlaine Harris
You are speaking of my future lover. Be more respectful.
Charlaine Harris
I didn't know what to think about first: me seeing Claude naked, Claude seeing me naked, or the whole fact that we were related and naked in the same room. (Sookie Stackhouse, Dead in the Family)
Charlaine Harris
But in my book, it was basically bad taste to stare at someone's assets, no matter how much on display they were.
Charlaine Harris
Hoyt was by himself right under one of the portable lights rigged up for the occasion. He had his hands thrust in his pockets, and he looked more serious than I’d ever seen him. There was something strange about the sight, and after a second I figured out why. It was one of the few times I’d ever seen Hoyt alone.
Charlaine Harris
It wasn't enough to be kidnapped, I had to be insulted too.
Charlaine Harris
