“One thing vampire children have to be taught early on is, don't run with wooden stakes.”

“I thought only a wooden stake through the heart killed a vampire. (Amanda) A wooden stake through the heart will kill just about anything. And if it doesn't, run like hell. (Kyrian)”

“She reached down and picked up one of the stakes she'd dropped, running the tip along her thigh as she straightened. "Want to play hunter and vampire?"Reynard quirked his eyebrow. "Madam, I came equipped with my own stake.""Whoa! Points to the old guy.”

“This means that I don't have to run faster than the psychotic-maniac-vampire-cannibal, I just have to run faster than whoever is with me when the psychotic-maniac-vampire-cannibal starts chasing us.”

“Children have a different convention of the fearful until they have been taught the proper things to be shocked at.”

“Children must early learn the the beauty of generosity. They are taught to give what they prize most, that they may taste the happiness of giving.”
