“Children make that big a difference to you? He asked. I nodded. Yeah, they do. I never figured you as the maternal type. I'm not, but kids are people, Edward, little people trapped by the choices the adults around them make.”

“What makes people is not bone structure and eye color, but the force of their personalities. the years of experience painted on their faces.”

“I used to think that only death could take someone away from me, but I have learned so many lesser things could steal someone away. Just as completely; just as forever.”

“Ma petite ...''No, you've done enough talking. It's my turn. If you harm Richard Zeeman, I'll kill you.''He means that much to you?' There was surprise in his voice. Great. 'No, you mean that little'.”

“Not dating is a choice, not a failure.”

“Richard either didn't hear me, or chose to ignore it. Smart, handsome, junior high science teacher, degree in preternatural biology, what more could i ask for? Give me a minute and I'd think of something.”

“What are you afraid of?' I asked.'Airplanes, guns, large predators, ad master vampires.”

“Besides I'm a sucker for a pair of pretty eyes.”

“Most of the time you're ass deep in alligators.”

“A lovable, cuddly bear. i didn't need a teddy bear for backup.”

“Sexier than a silk teddy.”

“My purse, like all purses, seems to have a traveling black hole in it.”

“I would have to spend the afternoon shopping. I hate to shop. I considered it one of the life's necessary evils, like brussels sprouts and high-heeled shoes.”

“I try not to be cruel, just persistent. There are days when the difference is pretty damn slight.”

“I'm very judgmental person. It's one of my faults.”

“Compromise is an imperfect act.”

“For fear is power.”

“I give good advice. I do not always take it.”

“...I have seen enough for two lifetimes. Maybe three, but I was very drunk at the time. -Marjorie Liu, The Tangleroot Palace”

“Do the gods sleep well at night? I think maybe they do.”

“I hoped what little dinner I'd eaten wasn't something my new baby-rich body didn't like. I didn't want to throw up all over the bad guys, or then again maybe I did. It would certainly be distracting.”

“He held Saraid the rest of the way home, and in a way she held him right back, because sometimes and especially for a man, being able to be someone’s big strong shoulder to cry on helps you not need to cry so very much yourself.”

“Morals aren't just for when it's easy, Anita. They aren't morals if you throw them aside every time it's convenient.”

“Being a successful couple was learning what you were willing to compromise on, and what you weren't; learning when to stand your ground, and when to give it up; what was truly important enough to fight over, and what was just you being pissy. You learned each other's hot buttons, the places that hurt, or angered, when you pressed them. Love makes you learn where all the pitfalls are, and how to avoid them, or how to set them off.”

“If the eyes are the window to the soul, then Edward's in trouble 'cause no one is home.”

“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.”

“Edward leaned close and whispered in my ear so that Olaf would think he was whispering sweet nothings, but what he what he actually said, was, "We aren't the good guys, Anita. We're the necessary guys.”

“Идва момент, в който просто обичаш някого. Не защото е добър или лош, или какъвто и да било. Просто го обичаш. Това не означава, че ще бъдете заедно завинаги. Не означава, че няма да се нараните взаимно. Значи само, че го обичаш. Понякога въпреки това, което е, а понякога заради това, което е. И знаеш, че и той те обича, понякога заради това, което си, а друг път въпреки него.”

“We aren't the good guys, Anita. We're the necessary guys. -Edward”

“I promise to shoot anything, human or monster, that threatens me while I'm gone'. He made the Boy Scout sign, three fingers to heaven. 'You can bail me out of jail and explain that i was just following orders'.”

“Why do i put up with you? You insult me at every turn.”

“He walked away through the crowd before i could decide if i'd been insulted or not. Just as well. For the life of me, i couldn't think of a good comeback line.”

“He gave a small nod, and I smiled back, and that was it. He understood that I'd understood that he'd understood. It took us one sentence, two looks, and a nod - with another woman it would have been at least five minutes of out-loud talking. Lucky for me I spoke fluent guy.”
