Favourite book quotes

[NeffableSquirrel]

I'm the same, especially with Anita Blake quotes. So here's a few of my favorites.

One I use a lot

'Can the sarcasm,' he said.
'Please, I always use fresh sarcasm, never canned.'"

- Dolph & Anita

"'Jesus, are all vampires over two hundred perverts?'
'I am over two hundred,' Jean-Claude said.
'I rest my case.'"

- Anita & Jean-Claude

'You sound awful.'
'You don't. You didn't get much more sleep than I did. How come you sound so much better? Please tell me you aren't a morning person.'
He laughed. 'Guilty as charged.'
Furry I could forgive; a morning person, I'd have to think about that."

- Richard & Anita

I really have to agree with her on that lol

I shook my head. Asking Jean-Claude not to be a pain in the ass was like asking rain not to be wet. Why try?"

OMG, love these quotes. I've read the whole Anita Blake series and some of LKH's other books. She's a great writer and her books are masterful! Have you read the Merry Gentry series by LKH? If not, it's also highly recommended.

Some quotes from the Anita Blake series for your reading pleasure:

"If you keep a gun in your purse, you get killed, because no woman can find anything in her purse in under 12 minutes. It's a rule."

""You smell of other people's blood, ma petite." I smiled at him, sweetly. "It was no one you knew.""

"They were treating me like a very dangerous person. At five-three I am not imposing. Raise the dead, kill a few vampires, and people start considering you one of the monsters."

"Stupidity isn't punishable by death. If it was, there would be a hell of a population drop."

"Pimps beware. I was bringing the Master as backup. It was like carrying a thermonuclear device to kill ants. Overkill has always been a specialty of mine."

"I decided to ignore it. If the poodle got loose, I figured I could take it. I was armed."

""You are an irritating son of a bitch." "Ah, ma petite, how can I resist you when you whisper such sweet endearments to me?""

"One of the things that's kept me alive is shooting first and asking questions later. Doing it the other way around was no way to stay alive."

"How many torture rooms could a house this size have? Don't answer that."

I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It's when you know you're licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what. You rarely win, but sometimes you do.

- Atticus Finch, To Kill a Mockingbird.

I love Oscar Wilde quotes, like this one for example: A true friend stabs you in the front.

"Faith is universal. Some of us toe to Mecca. Some of us got Mass. Some of us study subatomic particles. In the end we are all searching for that which is greater than ourselves." -Dan Brown from Angels and Demons

“It's a metaphor, see: You put the killing thing right between your teeth, but you don't give it the power to do its killing.”
― John Green, The Fault in Our Stars

[Bighuey]

Im not sure if this is the exact wording.

There are theives who rob you with a six-gun and there theives who rob you with a fountain pen." H. Rider Haggard

[Miri Faye]

This has always been a favorite of mine:

“In the moment when I truly understand my enemy, understand him well enough to defeat him, then in that very moment I also love him. I think it’s impossible to really understand somebody, what they want, what they believe, and not love them the way they love themselves. And then, in that very moment when I love them.... I destroy them.”
― Orson Scott Card, Ender's Game
