Most hatred is based on fear, one way or another. Yeah. I wrapped myself in anger, with a dash of hate, and at the bottom of it all was an icy center of pure terror.
Laurell K. Hamilton
I wasn't like most girls.
Laurell K. Hamilton
Better to assume the worst and be wrong than assume the best and be wrong.
Laurell K. Hamilton

Zerbrowski said, Try not. Do. Or do not. There is no try. It took me a second to realize that he had just quoted Star Wars to me. It made me smile, and in that moment I loved him, just for that.
Laurell K. Hamilton
No, death hadn't changed [Willie] much. But just in case, I avoided looking directly into his eyes. It was standard policy for dealing with vampires. He was a slime bucket, but now he was an undead slime bucket.

I have lived for over three hundred years. In that time, the ideal of beauty has changed many times.

But in all that time, ma petite, I have never desired anyone the way I desire you. - Jean-Claude
Laurell K. Hamilton

Laurell K. Hamilton
People go away and they don't come back.
Laurell K. Hamilton
You can't save everybody. In fact, there are days when I think you can't save anyone. Each person has to save himself first, then you can move in and help. I have found this philosophy does not work during a gun battle, or a knife fight either. Outside of that it works just fine.
Laurell K. Hamilton
Your heart is not a wound to be poked at to see if the scab is ready to come off. You can be healed of that very old pain, if you’ll just let it happen. (Marianne)
Laurell K. Hamilton
We're making a list. And checking it twice. Edward shook his head.
Laurell K. Hamilton
He looked less handsome without the smile and glow in his eyes, but he also seemed more real. Being real will get me into trouble faster than any amount of charm.
Laurell K. Hamilton
Oh, ma petite, you are growing gargantuan. I looked at him and it was not a friendly look. Never tease a woman about her weight, Jean-Claude. At least not an American twentieth-century one. He Spread his hands wide. My deepest apologies. When you apologize, try not to smile at the same time. It ruins the effect.
Laurell K. Hamilton
I cannot do it. I cannot bear it. I cannot go back to what I was here. I cannot stand at her side and watch another take her. I am not that strong or that good.
Laurell K. Hamilton
Maybe you’re not willing to give up a lover who’s colder than you are.
Laurell K. Hamilton
My characters surprise me constantly. My characters are like my friends - I can give them advice, but they don't have to take it. If your characters are real, then they surprise you, just like real people
Laurell K. Hamilton
I'd been willing to kill for the people I loved for a very long time now I had to start living for them.
