“An atheist waving a cross at a vampire was a truly pitiful sight.”

“I, Anita Blake, scourge of the undead-the human with more vampire kills than any other vampire executioner in the country-was dating a vampire. It was poetically ironic.”

“Vampires are people too!”

“Important safety tip - never look a vampire in the eye.”

“Because all bad little vampires see me in the end”

“There are only two kinds of vampire hunters: good ones and dead ones.”

“Remember the three rules of vampire hunting. One: Never, ever look them in the eyes. Two: Never, ever give up your cross. Three: Aim for the head and heart. Even with silver ammo, it won't be a killing blow anywhere else." I felt like a kindergarten teacher sending her kiddies off to a hostile playground. "Don't panic if you get bitten. The bite can be cleansed. As long as they don't mesmerize you with their eyes, you can still fight.”
