That was a tough exit line to top.”
― Charlaine Harris, quote from Club Dead

“Eric was holding my hands, and I was digging my nails into him like we were doing something else. He won't mind, I though, as I realized I'd drawn blood. And sure enough, he didn't. "Let go," he advised me, and I loosened my grip on his hands. "No, not of me," he said smiling. "You can hold on to me as long as you want.”
― Charlaine Harris, quote from Club Dead

― Charlaine Harris, quote from Club Dead

― Charlaine Harris, quote from Club Dead

“I have always been very fond of you." He'd always wanted to have sex with me. "Plus, I want to fuck you.”
― Charlaine Harris, quote from Club Dead

“How grateful are you?" he whispered, his mouth hovering over mine. His eyes were very alert now, and his gaze was boring into mine.

"That kind of ruins it, when you say something like that," I said, trying to keep my voice gentle. "You shouldn't want me to have sex with you just because I owe you."

"I don't really care why you have sex with me, as long as you do it," he said, equally gently.”
― Charlaine Harris, quote from Club Dead

“You take I-55 south, and you'll run into I-20. Or you could take..."

I was about to be overloaded with information. "Oh that sounds just perfect. Let me do just that, or I'll lose track."

Sure, glad I could help."

Oh, you surely did."

We beamed at each other, just two nice women. I had to fight an impulse to say "I have a tortured vampire in my trunk," out of sheer giddiness.”
― Charlaine Harris, quote from Club Dead

“Better to be screwed physically than financially.”
― Charlaine Harris, quote from Club Dead

― Charlaine Harris, quote from Club Dead

― Charlaine Harris, quote from Club Dead

“Alcide: "It's on my right butt cheek. It's shaped like a rabbit."
Sookie: "I love bunnies!”
― Charlaine Harris, quote from Club Dead

“Men sometimes have to leave their ladies alone, and ladies are not responsible for the bad manners of fools.”
― Charlaine Harris, quote from Club Dead

― Charlaine Harris, quote from Club Dead

“The sweetest part of being a couple was sharing your life with someone else.”
― Charlaine Harris, quote from Club Dead

“Okay," I said. "I'd hoped to avoid this, but... Bill, I rescind your invitation into my house." Bill began walking backward to the door, a helpless look on his face, and my brush still in his hand. Eric grinned at him triumphantly.
"Eric," I said, and his smile faded. "I rescind your invitation into my house." And backward he went, out my door and off my porch. The door slammed shut behind (or maybe in front of?) them.”
― Charlaine Harris, quote from Club Dead

About the author

Popular quotes

“In our lives, we don’t always get what we deserve or what we want. But how we deal with those misfortunes mold our character. As with this second book, time will leap-frog again into the future for book three, where the ramifications of the decisions made here will play out.”
― Jeff Wheeler, quote from The Thief's Daughter

“Suffering is inevitable, they said, but how we respond to that suffering is our choice. Not even oppression or occupation can take away this freedom to choose our response. Right”
― Dalai Lama XIV, quote from The Book of Joy: Lasting Happiness in a Changing World

“Maeve, you wrote this to Tillie Olsen, who treasured it, and had it up on her studio wall. I copied it, and it’s now on the [bulletin] board over my desk.” The passage reads: I have been trying to think of the word to say to you that would never fail to lift you up when you are too tired or too sad [to] not be downcast. But I can think only of a reminder—you are all it has. You are all your work has. It has nobody else and never had anybody else. If you deny it hands and a voice, it will continue as it is, alive, but speechless and without hands. You know it has eyes and can see you, and you know how hopefully it watches you. But I am speaking of a soul that is timid but that longs to be known. When you are so sad that you “cannot work” there is always danger fear will enter in and begin withering around. A good way to remain on guard is to go to the window and watch the birds for an hour or two or three. It is very comforting to see their beaks opening and shutting. This is real friendship—the kind that takes another’s soul as seriously as one’s own. Aristotle considered it the highest order of love, philia, or “friendship love,” in which tending to somebody else’s welfare is central to our own flourishing.”
― Kate Bolick, quote from Spinster: Making a Life of One's Own

“For sad if obvious reasons, women (especially white women who are seduced by access to the powerful) are the only discriminated-against group whose members seem to think that, if they don’t take themselves seriously, someone else will.”
― Gloria Steinem, quote from Outrageous Acts and Everyday Rebellions

“Montgomery dude said he killed my parents.”
― David Baldacci, quote from The Last Mile

As the world communicates more and more via texts, memes and sound bytes, short but profound quotes from books have become more relevant and important.
