More quotes by Laurell K. Hamilton
I'd killed him in the end, but revenge only makes things all better in the movies. In real life, once the villain is dead the trauma lives on inside the victims.
Laurell K. Hamilton
Men don't settle down because of the right woman. They settle down because they are finally ready for it. Whatever woman they're dating when they get ready is the one they settle down with, not necessarily the best one or the prettiest, just the one who happened to be on hand when the time got to be right. Unromantic, but still true.
Laurell K. Hamilton
What's your name? Donald. Hi, Donald, missed you at the wienie roast.

Confidence is a fine trait. Over-confidence isn't.
Laurell K. Hamilton
When you apologize, try not to smile at the same time. It ruins the effect
Laurell K. Hamilton
I always treated writing as a profession, never as a hobby. If you don't believe in yourself, no one else will.

Somehow I think Trophy Wives wear more makeup and less cutlery. But hey, I haven't ever met a Trophy Wife, maybe I'm wrong. Maybe they know what I know, that the true way to a man's heart is six inches of metal between his ribs.
Laurell K. Hamilton
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
Laurell K. Hamilton
I love animals, always have, and it seemed natural to help the ASPCA. Animals have no voice of their own, so we have to be that voice
Laurell K. Hamilton
Feelings are never stupid, they just make us feel stupid sometimes.
Laurell K. Hamilton
Just what I needed—a necromancer with an attitude. Oh, wait, I was a necromancer with an attitude.
Laurell K. Hamilton
He will not let you come barging in to his world like the proverbial bull in the china shop.
Laurell K. Hamilton
I had been downright paranoid all afternoon, aware of everyone near me. By the time I went for the car, my neck and shoulders were knotted into one painful ache. The most frightening thing I'd seen all afternoon had been the prices on the designer clothing.
Laurell K. Hamilton
The ratman froze, staring at me. Why are you laughing? His voice held just a hint of unease. Good. I was hoping that the vampires would come for me soon and save me. You've got to admit that's funny.
Laurell K. Hamilton
I hate women who complain about being fat when they're like a size 5. Anything under size 5 isn't a woman. It's a boy with breasts.
Laurell K. Hamilton
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.
Laurell K. Hamilton
Patience is a virtue, but there comes a moment when you must stop being patient and take the day by the throat and shake it. If it fights back fine. I'd rather end up bloody at the end of the day, then unhurt with no progress made, no knowledge gained. I'd rather have a no, then nothing. I'd forgotten that about myself.

Maybe you’re not willing to give up a lover who’s colder than you are.
Laurell K. Hamilton
If you love someone, then your freedom is curtailed. If you love someone, you give up much of your privacy. If you love someone, then you are no longer merely one person but half of a couple. To think or behave any other way is to risk losing that love.
Laurell K. Hamilton
It was as if the power and loneliness of the vampires' world had combined with the group oriented puppy-pile world of the shapeshifters and made something new.
