Therapy can get you only so far with exorcising your childhood nightmares after that it's willpower, and you, and people you can trust to hold your hand along the way.
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
She doesn't understand what she's asking, Jean-Claude said. No, but she asks, and if we do not do it, we will always wonder. I would rather thy and fail than regret having never tried at all.
Laurell K. Hamilton
Better to assume the worst and be wrong than assume the best and be wrong.

I got out my jar of ointment. I knew animators who had special containers for the ointment. Crockery, hand-blown glass, mystical symbols carved into the sides. I used an old Mason jar that had once held Grandma Blake's green beans. Larry fished out a peanut butter jar with the label still on it. Extra-crunchy. Yum-Yum.

I know you can throw holy water on the vampire, but I didn't know you could throw the host. (Sheriff St. John) I had to smile. They aren't like little holy grenades. I want the host to give to the Quinlans so they can put one at every windowsill, every doorsill. (Anita Blake)

Laurell K. Hamilton
His parting shot to me had been, I don't want to love someone who is more at home with the monsters than I am. What do you say to that? What can you say? Damned if I know. They say love conquers everything. They lie.
Laurell K. Hamilton
I wasn't like most girls.
Laurell K. Hamilton
Still it might be nice, once in a while, not to have to choose between evils. Just once, couldn't I choose the lesser good?
Laurell K. Hamilton
Before I knew you, I thought brave was not being afraid. You've taught me that bravery is being terrified and doing it anyway.

You lie like butter wouldn't melt in your mouth, Edward. He smiled. I don't lie to you. Really, I said. The smile became a grin. Okay, not most of the time, anymore. His face sobered. I'm not lying now.

I worry that when you start quoting Machiavelli to justify your actions, you have ceased to be one of the good guys. No, quoting Nietzsche does that. Machiavelli is just cool.

Nill illigitamus carborundum
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.
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.
