“Nothing is ever truly set by fate. In one blink, everything changes. Even though it should be a clear, sunny day, the softest whisper into the wind can become a hurricane that destroys everything it touches. (Acheron)”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Sins of the Night
“What are you? (Danger)
Well, had you listened before you stabbed me, you would have heard the ‘I’m Acheron’s Squire’ part. Apparently that somehow escaped your hearing and you mistook me for a pin cushion. (Alexion) ”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Sins of the Night
“A flower can't grow without rain. (Alexion)
Too much rain and it drowns. (Danger)
And yet the most beautiful of the lotus flowers are the ones that grow in the deepest mud. (Alexion)”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Sins of the Night
“Then let me put it to you this way. There is seldom black and white in our world. Sometimes things we perceive as good have moments of profound evil, but profound evil will always tell you that it’s always good. It never admits that it could, in any way, be evil. (Alexion)”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Sins of the Night
“Get off me, you lard-ass, halitosis, flea-infested horror-movie reject! (Alexion)”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Sins of the Night
“How did you fastforward and turn it off? (Danger)
I wanted it off and off it went. (Alexion)
Wow, that’s amazing. I guess this makes me the luckiest woman in the world. (Danger)
How so? (Alexion)
I’ve found the only man alive who won’t ever shout out, ‘honey, where’s the remote?’ then tear my house apart in pursuit of it. (Danger)”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Sins of the Night
“If wishes were horses, even beggars would ride. (Dark-Hunter)”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Sins of the Night
“So what name would you rather I call you? she asked as she headed out of the parking lot. Ias or Alexion.
He gave her a devilish grin that set fire to her hormones. I would rather you call me lover. He wagged his eyebrows playfully at her. Danger rolled her eyes. Like all men with a onetrack mind, he was incorrigible.
Don't blame me, Alexion said in an almost offended tone. I can't help it. You should see the way you fight. It really turned me on.
Could you tell me how to turn you off?
-Danger and Alexion”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Sins of the Night
“Don’t ask me any more questions, Keller. I’m just going to lie to you and I’d rather not have the stress of trying to remember what lie I handed you. (Alexion)”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Sins of the Night
“As Nietzsche said, ‘that which doesn’t kill you– ’(Alexion)
Will only require brief hospitalization. And if you’re a Dark-Hunter, just a good day’s sleep. (Danger) ”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Sins of the Night
“They attacked you? (Danger)
No, I beat my own self up. What do you think? (Keller)”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Sins of the Night
“I assure you he died screaming like a girl. (Daimon)
Oh, I am so offended by that. What is the deal with that sexist statement? I’m a female and I don’t scream. But I’ve killed many a male Daimon who did. (Danger) ”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Sins of the Night
“So what’s on the agenda for tonight? (Danger)
Migraine, futility, possible death. Same as every night, I guess. (Alexion)”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Sins of the Night
“Hmmm. See, in this world, Xirena, the Simi does what she wants and akri, he say, ‘Okay, Simi, whatever you want, Simi.’ Unless it involves eating people; then he usually says no, but that’s the only time. Other than that, he do what the Simi says. See how that works? (Simi)”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Sins of the Night
“Oh yeah, this was so comforting. Like a porcupine in a condom factory.’ (Danger)”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Sins of the Night
“I hope you find peace, my brother. (Acheron)
Peace walks hand in hand with a quite conscience. (Savitar)”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Sins of the Night
“You don’t know about Travis Fimmel? Oh, sister, you are deprived. He the finest man alive. (Simi)
You lust for men? (Xirena)
Well, I certainly don’t lust for women. (Simi)
No, I mean you lust for humans? (Xirena)
Well, don’t you? (Simi)
Ew! What have you don’t to her? You have corrupted a good demon! (Xirena)”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Sins of the Night
“You’ve got on a white coat. (Ephani)
Awesome cognitive powers you have there. (Alexion)”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Sins of the Night
“Because people learn from their mistakes, Danger. Pain and failure are a natural part of life. It's kind of like a parent who watches their child fall down while learning to walk. Instead of coddling the child, you set them back on their feet and let them try again. They have to stumble before they can run. (Alexion)
Do you really believe that we need to have our hearts ripped out? (Danger)
A flower can't grow without rain. (Alexion)
Too much rain and it drowns. (Danger)
And yet the most beautiful of the lotus flowers are the ones that grow in the deepest mud. (Alexion)”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Sins of the Night
“Tell me about it. Despite all the changes in the twenty-first century, it seems that the rich are still rich and the poor are still poor. There are still countless people in the world who starve every day, and it’s not because they’re anorexic or fasting. It’s because they can’t afford food while the rich waste money all the time on trivial things. Every time I hear about famine, I ask myself if we’ve learned nothing from the past- from the revolutions, all the wars. All they did was ruin thousands of lives. (Danger)
Chronia apostraph, anthrice mi achi. (Alexion)
What is that? (Danger)
It’s Atlantean. Something Acheron says a lot. Roughly translated, it means ‘time moves on, people do not.’ (Alexion)”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Sins of the Night
“Your Dark-Huntress, Danger, called for Acheron and since he’s busy, I was sent to check things out and report back to him on what’s happening. So here I am. Joy, oh joy of my life. (Alexion)”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Sins of the Night
“You know, those parlor tricks would be much more impressive if they actually helped me. (Danger)
I wanted to see what you had in you. (Alexion)
Piss and vinegar. Next time you don’t help me, I’ll unleash it fully against you. (Danger)”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Sins of the Night
“Lucille certainly picked a fine time to leave us, didn’t he? I just wish our only problem was four hungry children and a crop in the field. (Danger)
You know, your sarcasm isn’t helping anymore than your bizarre and scattered references to literature and bad country songs. (Alexion)
Not true, it’s helping me maintain a calm facade that I most definitely do not feel. (Danger)
Well, it’s starting to piss me off. (Alexion)
Ooo, you almost scare me when you say that.”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Sins of the Night
“What do you mean you live someplace where there aren’t any humans? (Danger)
In a realm far away from here. (Alexion)
Is that like in star Wars? A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away? Want to tell me where your Tatooine is located? Is it anywhere in this universe? Near Toledo maybe? The one in Ohio or Spain? I’m not picky. Can I MapQuest it? (Danger)”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Sins of the Night
“It must stink to know everyone’s future but your own. (Danger)
You’ve no idea. It’s actually cruel in my opinion. But then maybe it doesn’t matter after all since futures can and do change. Something as simple as you’re supposed to turn right down a street one day…and in your bones you know it, and yet for reasons no one understands, you decide to debunk fate and go left. Now instead of meeting the spouse of your dreams and having a house full of kids, you get flattened by an ice-cream truck and spend the next five years in physical therapy. And all because you exercised free will and turned the opposite way on a whim. (Alexion)”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Sins of the Night
“And this Atlantean Destroyer is now leading the Daimons and sending them out to battle against Acheron, who is just using us and the humans as cannon fodder to protect himself? Really, Kyros, put down the crack pipe...or go write children’s fantasy novels. I’ll bet you even know exactly who conspired to kill Kennedy, huh? I’m sure the money from D.B. Cooper is what financed your stunning collection of furniture. (Danger)”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Sins of the Night
“Look, I don’t want to stand here and watch you commune with ‘other.’ It’s been a long night, my brain is fried and my emotions shot. You can stay here and do your hocus-pocus cat prowl, looking for your invisible friends all you want. I’m going to head off to my media room and veg. (Danger)
If you need me, call. (Alexion)
Yeah, I’ll just do that when I need the great big, hulking he-man to charge in and save my weak, girly butt. (Danger)”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Sins of the Night
“Oh, goodie. And here I am without my favorite stake and why is that? Because the ugly winged demon from hell – literally –came after us. Now we got these guys to fight. Well, at least they’re not scaly. (Danger)
And they are blond. You like blonds. (Alexion)
True, but after looking at them, I think my tastes just changed. I think I’d rather do the demon that one of them. (Danger)”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Sins of the Night
“It seemed his demon couldn't tell the physical difference between when he was in danger and when he was "in" Danger.”

“The Cosmos is all that is or was or ever will be. Our feeblest contemplations of the Cosmos stir us -- there is a tingling in the spine, a catch in the voice, a faint sensation, as if a distant memory, of falling from a height. We know we are approaching the greatest of mysteries.”

Shit.
He was in such deep, unending shit.”

The Sound of WavesBookQuoters is a community of passionate readers who enjoy sharing the most meaningful, memorable and interesting quotes from great books. 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. For some of us a quote becomes a mantra, a goal or a philosophy by which we live. For all of us, quotes are a great way to remember a book and to carry with us the author’s best ideas.
We thoughtfully gather quotes from our favorite books, both classic and current, and choose the ones that are most thought-provoking. Each quote represents a book that is interesting, well written and has potential to enhance the reader’s life. We also accept submissions from our visitors and will select the quotes we feel are most appealing to the BookQuoters community.
Founded in 2023, BookQuoters has quickly become a large and vibrant community of people who share an affinity for books. Books are seen by some as a throwback to a previous world; conversely, gleaning the main ideas of a book via a quote or a quick summary is typical of the Information Age but is a habit disdained by some diehard readers. We feel that we have the best of both worlds at BookQuoters; we read books cover-to-cover but offer you some of the highlights. We hope you’ll join us.
