“Well I ain't Dr. Phil, but I'm smart," she said. "And your shoes are cuter than his," I said, trying to sound at least semi-normal. "Yeah they remind me of Dorothy's ruby slippers, only mine are wedges 'cause I'm more fashion conscious than she was.”

“We must have a creature made of Darkness to break through the cage of Darkenss that imprisons your grandmother," Thanatos said. "That creature is me." Aurox stepped forward."Oh, for shit's sake! We are absolutely fucked!" Aphrodite said. Sadly I had to agree with her.”

“With his back to Neferet, Kalona buried his face in his hands. How could I have ever thought she, or any other woman, could supplant Nyx's place in my heart? I have spent centuries as a broken shell of myself, attempting to fill what was missing within me through violence and lust and power. Nothing! Nothing has worked! He felt her hands on his shoulders. They were soft and warm and seemed to radiate kindness. Gently, ever so gently, she turned him, coaxing Kalona to face her. When he lifted his head his body went very still. Neferet had not followed him. She had not moved. She could not have touched him. Neferet had never touched him with such kindness.But Nyx had.”

“Uh, excuse me, myrna. What did you just say? To me it sounded like 'I'm pregnant with the troll's baby and I'm going to handfast with him, Mama.' I know I couldn't have heard you right."~ Shannon Parker "You hears me right, Mama. Except for the part about Grant being a troll. You know i've asked you a thousand times to quit calling him that." ~Myrna "Lets see... he's short. The top of his head is flat. He has an underbite. And a squeaky little voice. All that says troll to me." ~ Shannon Parker Divine by Blood (Part 2 Chapter 6) Partholon Series”

“Nicht alles, was hell ist, ist gut. Und nicht alles, was dunkel ist, ist schlecht. Die Dunkelheit und das Böse sind nicht immer gleichzusetzen, ebenso wie das Licht nicht immer Gutes verheißt.”

“At the last parent visitation night I'd sorta accidentally watched a majorly nightmarish scene between Aphrodite and her parents. Her dad's the mayor of Tulsa. Her mom might be Satan.”

“You asked what you’d done to displease me and I told you: you’re breathing. And in much too close a proximity to me. That displeases me. It’stime you depart my bed.” Neferet sighed and flicked her fingers at him in dismissal. “Go. Now.”

“I am not a morning person. Never have been - never want to be. As a matter of fact, I am vaguely distrustful of people who bound out of bed early like demented puppies. It's barbaric to wake up before 9:00 a.m.”

“C-sections and epidurals should be blessings to women, but I suddenly wondered if they had become a means from which to steal the magic of the power of birth away from a generation of mothers.”

“I prefer my water in wine form.”

“The ability to accessorize is what elevates us from lower-life forms," I said in my lecture voice, choosing a pair of diamond-studded drops for my ear. "Like men.”

“Bagian terbaik dari sebuah kecantikan adalah bahwa tak ada gambar yang bisa melukiskannya. Loren Blake - Betrayed”

“That's how Darkness works. It turns love into something bad.”

“...the one consistent thing I have found is that there really is no normal when it comes to women.”

“You can borrow my two-carat diamond stud earrings," Aphrodite said. I stopped and looked back at her. "Huh?"She shrugged. "That's as close to a declaration of love as you're gonna get from me.”

“What the hell's wrong with mimosas?' Aphrodite was saying. 'Orange juice is for breakfast.''What about the champagne part? That's alcohol,' Stevie Rae said.'It's pink Veuve Clicquot. That means its good champagne, which cancels out the alcohol part,”

“Like pleasure, beauty should be savored and enjoyed”

“Friendship can only be addition to, not a substitute for true love”

“True love wasn't found in good hair or the right clothes, make-up or shoes. True love was found in the soul - as was wisdom and compassion”

“Don’t worry,” he said softly. “No matter what else, we have love. Always love.”

“Ancient mirrorMacick mirrorShades of grayHiddenForbiddenWithin, awayPart the mistMacick kissedCall the feyReveal the pastThe spell is castI save the day!”

“No matter what else, we have love. Always love.”

“He has a spirit-a soul- and therfore a choice. I will belive that Aurox will chose Light, even if Darkness resides within him. None of us is entirely good. Or evil.”

“Actually, the zapping light was kinda like Sookie’s fairy-light-thing. Do you think there’s any chance I’m a fairy?” “No, Z. Focus. True Blood is fiction. This is the real world.”

“At the very least i should fear you. some would say that I should hate you.""Many would say that.""Yet i neither fear nor hate you.""You-you are comforting me. Giving me sanctuary. Why, Grandma?" Aurox asked."Because I believe in the power of love. I believe in chosing Light over Darkness-happiness over hatred-trust over skeptism,”

“Sylvia's dark eyes widened. "You are more than you appear to be""Yes. I am a monster of Darkness, a beast," he agreed with her. Her lips tilted up. "Can a beast weep in sorrow? Does darkness have the capacity to feel loneliness? I think not.”

“Try asking for Nyx's help." "Nyx would not hear me." Kalona spoke so quietly that Shaunee almost didn't hear him. "she has not heard me for eons.""During those eons how many times did you ask for her help?""Not once," he said"Then how do you know she's not listening to you?”

“I don't think the amount of belief you have is what's important. I think it's what you have belief in that matters.”

“What was the old saying? If it has tires or testicles, it's gonna give you problems.”

“Did you just curse? Isn't 'hell' - she air quoted - "a cursed word?""How 'bout you go straight there and see?”

“Bask in your uniqueness, revel in your strenght. We stand separate from the world because of our gifts. never forget that, because you may be sure the world never will”

“Und was passiert, wenn du nicht mehr da bist, um [...] mich immer daran zu erinnern, wie ein Zuhause ist?”

“Oh, Zoeybird, did I call your mother's husband a damn turd monkey outloud?''Yes, Grandma, you did.'She looked at me, her dark eyes sparkling. 'Good.”

“Mercy is stronger than your sword.”

“The Goddess's ways are not always clear. No, but they are always interesting.”

“Twin, sagging is seriously lame. It's so cliched gang-wannabe circa 1990s. Hotties should just say no to it.”

“The most important thing I came to tell you is that I want your oath that you will keep an open mind...about everything that may seem impossible.”

“Remember that I will be here', he said resolutely. 'For an eternity (...). I would wait for you for an eternity.”

“(...) ClanFintan's gaze captured mine once more."I said nothing because I hoped that you would trust me enough to confide in me." His voice had finally regained its emotion, and I was upset to hear the sadness that filled his words."I do trust you! It's just that there didn't seem to be a right time. And then, well, I didn't tell you because I didn't want to chance loosing your love."My voice had become a whisper.(...) So, I stood there trying to blink away the tears that were threatening to spill from my eyes. ClanFintan sighed heavily and closed the space between us before I could start bawling. He touched my face and cupped my chin in the warmth of his hand."My love is something you will never lose." He bent and kissed me softly, then smiled at my undoubtedly goofy expression."My patience, perhaps, but never my love.”

“I've bespelled this locket, for you; my own, my mate. The day has come when death forced us to part. You must know that I for you, forever, I shall wait. So until we meet again I hold your love safely within my heart.Remember, your oath was to temper strength with mercy. No matter how long apart we shall be, I hold you to that oatheternally... eternally...”

“Seeing it makes a magnificent abstract concept real, and reality tends to taint even the most wonderful ideas [...] - Caradoc”

“Never say no to sex”

“A sense of belonging is not physical. We cant find it by changing where we live or what we do. We have to carry it within us”

“...Neferet fell smack on her butt.”

“Si (...), divina. Y no divina por un error, divina por elección, por derecho.”

“What if the beauty around us is meant as a reminder for the many gifts we have been given and our need to give thanks to them?”

“when love is strong enough it can even cause Fate to change her course”

“True love is not a potion one person can swallow and another refuse to drink. It happens only when the souls of two join together to form one”

“She's really amazing," Darius said as he gazed lovingly after her. "If by amazing you mean a total pain in the butt, then I'll agree with you.”

“His eyes met mine and the rest of the room faded away. ―I‘m always going to keep your heart safe, even if mine has to stop beating for that to happen,‖ he told me softly.”
