Memorable Quotes
-
“Maybe God isn't the sex police, Richard. Sometimes I think Christians get all hung up on the sex thing because it's easier to worry about sex than to ask yourself, Am I good person? If as long as you don't have sex with a lot of people you're a good person, that's easy. It's easyt o avoid that. It's easy to think, I'm not fucking anyone, so I'm good. It makes it easy to be cruel, because as long as you're not fucking around, nothing you do can be that bad. Is that really all you think of God? Is he just the sex police for you and Malcolm? Or is it that sex is easy to worry about, easy to avoid, and the whole love-your-neighbor-as-you-love-yourself thing that's hard? Some days it's so hard, I feel like trying to take care of everyone in my life will break me apart. But I do my best. I do my best for everyone in my life every damn day. Can you say that, Richard? Do you do your best for everyone in your life every damn day?"”

Requiem -
“I mean, I was like their only chance to avoid a family tragedy of epic proportions.”
Anita Blake -
“This cloak-and-dagger shit is getting old.”

“Guns, unlike pagers, do not float.”
Anita Blake -
“One of my other boyfriends said I hated being in love, and he was right. It always felt so stupid, like your insurance rates should go up, because you’re impaired. Romantically handicapped.”
Anita Blake -
“You hate most in others what you’re afraid of in yourself.”
