― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Dream Warrior

“You must have had such a great childhood with a man like that for your father. (Delphine)
Yeah. All puppy dogs and rainbows and those weird furry people with padded coat hangers on their heads that look like space aliens on acid. (Jericho)
You mean the Teletubbies? (Berith)
The fact that you know what they're called, Berith, truly scares me. (Jericho)
As a demon of torture, it behooves me to know all things that are deeply annoying. You'd be amazed how many people in the modern age no longer fear zombies as much as Teletubbies. (Berith)
Not really. I'd rather battle a brain-eating zombie any day than hear them sing. (Jericho)”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Dream Warrior

“For the record, kid, Summoning a demon to kidnap her, not the best way to meet a woman. It usually backfires on you.”

“Menoeceus wants his father. (Astrid)
Bob is crying because he wants his mother to stop calling him that crap-ass name. It’s all right, Bob. Daddy’s got you now. I’m saving you from Mommy’s bad naming taste. I’d be crying, too, if my mom named me after an idiot. (Zarek)”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Dream Warrior

“Menoeceus is a great name. (Astrid)
For an old man or a feminine hygiene product. Not for my son. And next time I get to name the kid and it won’t be something that sounds like meningitis. (Zarek)
You keep that up and next time you’ll be the one birthing it, and don’t mess with me, bucko, I have connections in that department. A pregnant man is not an impossibility in my neighborhood. (Astrid)”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Dream Warrior

It's slime. (Zarek)”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Dream Warrior

“If you really love her, Cratus, let her know it every day. And always put her before you and your wants just as you’ve done here today. Take it from someone who knows. Love lost is the hardest burden to shoulder, and it’s one you can never get under. (Artemis)”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Dream Warrior

Ditto. (Jericho)”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Dream Warrior

― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Dream Warrior

― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Dream Warrior

“Yeah, well, I’ll be glad to birth it if it means I can name him something normal. (Zarek)

― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Dream Warrior

“Here we are. Maybe I should warn you before we enter...(Asmodeus)

Or maybe not. Let’s just barge in and be surprised, shall we? (Asmodeus)”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Dream Warrior

“Believe me, I know and I almost made the same mistake you did. Evil is seductive. It’s what makes the two of them so dangerous. (Jericho)

― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Dream Warrior

“I, for one, am exhausted. I’ve been threatened, beaten, bitten and killed, and that was just in the last hour. (Jericho)”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Dream Warrior

“Are you always this random? (Jericho)
Mostly. It really irritates Noir. Which is just an added bonus for me. At least so long as I can outrun him. (Asmodeus)
Add me to that list of people you annoy. (Jericho)
Oh. You’re not going to singe my testicles over it, are you?! (Asmodeus)
No plans to. (Jericho)
Good. We can be friends, then. (Asmodeus)”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Dream Warrior

“In the land of badass, you’ve just been trumped. If Dark-Hunters had inmates, these would be they. Known as the Dogs of War because that’s what they thrive on, they’re cold-blooded and intolerant. Congratulations, bud, these are your new protectors. (Acheron)”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Dream Warrior

“Nick glowered at Ash. "Are we through now, Dad? Can I go play with my friends if I promise to be a good boy? I'll even try and make it home by curfew."

“Technical advisor. Since you know our enemies so well, we’re going to pick your brain. (Jericho)
I’ll tell you what you want to know. There's no need to torture me for it. (Asmodeus)
Pick your brain is an idiomatic expression, Asmodeus. It means we’ll have you tell us things. We’re not actually going in there to mess with your head. (Delphine)
Oh, thank the Source. I can’t stand it when someone opens my skull. It really hurts. (Asmodeus)”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Dream Warrior

“I want my fluff-fluff! (Bob)
Fluff-fluff… (Zarek looked panicked.) (Zarek)”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Dream Warrior

“I don’t feel brave, especially not right now. (Delphine)
That’s what bravery is, especially for a woman not used to having emotions. When you feel deep, paralyzing fear and you don’t let it stop you, that is true courage. There’s never been bravery without fear. Just as there’s no love without hate. (M'Adoc)”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Dream Warrior

I’m not touching that one with tongs and a gas mask. (Jericho)”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Dream Warrior

“Why would you do that? (Delphine)
Why do you think? (Jericho)
Because I’m a bossy hag and you’d rather be enslaved to a man you hate than deal with me. (Delphine)
You know…you’re not funny. (Jericho)
I think I’m hysterical. (Delphine)”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Dream Warrior

“What are you? Stupid? Of course they have a guard. What part of ‘You’re a prisoner’ did you miss? (Delphine)”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Dream Warrior

About the author

Popular quotes

“We spread the Gospel by the proclamation of the Word of God (see Rom. 10:17). But God has told us that we should restrain evil by the power of the sword and by the power of civil government (as in the teaching of Romans 13:1–6, quoted above, p. 37). If the power of government (such as a policeman) is not present in an emergency, when great harm is being done to another person, then my love for the victim should lead me to use physical force to prevent any further harm from occurring. If I found a criminal attacking my wife or children, I would use all my physical strength and all the physical force at my disposal against him, not to persuade him to trust in Christ as his Savior, but to immediately stop him from harming my wife and children! I would follow the command of Nehemiah, who told the men of Israel, “Remember the Lord, who is great and awesome, and fight for your brothers, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your homes” (Neh. 4:14; see also Genesis 14:14–16, where Abraham rescued his kinsman Lot who had been taken captive by a raiding army). Boyd has wrongly taken one of the ways that God restrains evil in this world (changing hearts through the Gospel of Christ) and decided that it is the only way that God restrains evil (thus neglecting the valuable role of civil government). Both means are from God, both are good, and both should be used by Christians. This is why Boyd misunderstands Jesus’ statement, “If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also” (Matt. 5:39). When this verse is rightly understood (see below, p. 82), we see that Jesus is telling individuals not to take revenge for a personal insult or a humiliating slap on the cheek.51 But this command for individual kindness is not the same as the instructions that the Bible gives to governments, who are to “bear the sword” and be a “terror” to bad conduct and are to carry out “God’s wrath on the wrongdoer” (Rom. 13:3–4). The verses must be understood rightly in their own contexts. One is talking about individual conduct and personal revenge. The other is talking about the responsibilities of government. We should not confuse the two passages.”
― Wayne A. Grudem, quote from Politics - According to the Bible: A Comprehensive Resource for Understanding Modern Political Issues in Light of Scripture

“Think about it: Why should we care whether what makes us happy is just an electrical impulse in our brain or something funny that we see some fool do on TV? Does it matter what makes you smile? Wouldn't you rather be happy for no reason than unhappy for good reasons?”
― Terry Trueman, quote from Stuck in Neutral

“If you compare yourself to others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.”
― Max Ehrmann, quote from Desiderata: Words For Life

“Zarife de kendine göre Yedigey'in iyiliğini istemiş ve bu konuda vicdanının sesine uymuştu. Bunun için Zarife'yi suçlamıyor, ona kızamıyordu. Zaten insan sevdiğine kızamazdı ki! Daha çok kendisini suçluyor, kendisini kusurlu buluyordu. Sevdiği kadın acı çekeceğine kendisi acı çeksindi. Bırakıp gitse bile onu hep sevgiyle anardı.”
― Chingiz Aitmatov, quote from The Day Lasts More Than a Hundred Years

“I was twelve and love burned in me like sap. Peter got down on his knees as though I was his goddess, as though I really was the only sound he could hear and I filled his head with miraculous ringing, as though I made him permanent, and for this he would always be grateful.”
― Margaux Fragoso, quote from Tiger, Tiger: A Memoir

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.
