    “And as for people shunning us because of our known association with homosexuals”—here she wiggled her eyebrows, because she sounded ridiculously like Joseph McCarthy—“I say we don’t want new members who would think like that. We want people who will admire us for taking a stand and who will say, ‘Yes, that’s Christianity; that’s how I want to live it and that’s the church I want to belong to.”
    Julia Spencer-Fleming, A Fountain Filled with Blood

    “I believe that God hears our prayers, and cherishes them. I believe He answers by sending us His spirit, giving us strenght, and peace, and insight. I don't think He responds by turning away bullets and curing cancer. Though sometimes that does happen."

    Harlene frowned. "In other words, sometimes, the answer is no?"

    "No. Sometimes the answer is "This is life, in all its variety. Make your way through it with grace, and never forget that I love you.”

    Julia Spencer-Fleming
    “Russ decided the best defense was a good offense. "I'm Russell Van Alstyne, Millers Kill chief of police." He held out his hand. She shook firm, like a guy.

    "Clare Fergusson," she said. "I'm the new priest at Saint Alban's. That's the Episcopal Church. At the corner of Elm and Church." There was a faint testiness in her voice. Russ relaxed a fraction. A woman priest. If that didn't beat all.

    "I know which it is. There are only four churches in town." He saw the fog creeping along the edges of his glasses again and snatched them off, fishing for a tissue in his pocket. "Can you tell me what happened, um..." What was he supposed to call her? "Mother?"

    "I go by Reverend, Chief. Ms. is fine, too."

    "Oh. Sorry. I never met a woman priest before."

    "We're just like the men priests, except we're willing to pull over and ask directions.”

    J.D. Robb
    “For once, he slept first. She lay in the dark, listening to him breathe, stealing a little of his warmth as her own body cooled. Since he was asleep, she stroked his hair.

    "I love you," she murmured. "I love you so much, I'm stupid about it."

    With a sigh, she settled down, closed her eyes, and willed her mind to empty.
    Beside her, Roarke smiled into the dark.

    He never slept first.”

    "Lieutenant." He leaned forward, touched his lips to hers. "indications are we're having a romance.”

    ...."I have two like crimes. Your data and your input on Leclerk would be very helpful"

    "It says you would like to have sex with me. I don't think that is correct"

    J.D. Robb
    “She thinks you married me for power,” he said as they walked on. “Renee. As that’s what she would’ve done. The power and the money is one in the same to her.”

    “She’s wrong. I married you for the sex.”
    He grinned. “So sure of that am I that I work diligently to hold up my end of it.”
    J.D. Robb, Treachery in Death

    J.D. Robb
    “Damn it all to hell and back again, you know very well that was a setup. You bloody well know I couldn't put my hands on her."

    "Yeah, yeah, sure, sure." Eve shrugged off her coat, tossed it aside. "I know a setup when I see it, and I know your face, ace. I didn't see desire on it, I saw annoyance."

    "Is that so? Is that bloody well so? Well, if you knew it was just what it was, why did you sucker punch me?"

    "Mostly?" She turned, cocked a hip. "Because you're a man."

    Eyes narrowed on her face, he tried to stanch the blood with the back of his hand. "And do you have any sort of idea just how often I might expect your fist in my goddamn face because of my bleeding DNA?”
    J.D. Robb, Innocent in Death

    “You're almost as good as Peabody."

    "I could if I wanted." But it made her grin as he uncoded the locks. "But I like you better for sex.”
    J.D. Robb, Conspiracy in Death

    J.D. Robb
    “She would be a sparkling accent on his arm. She speaks flawless French and Italian, and has a limitless supply of charm when she wishes to dispense it. And'd she'll use him. She'll take, take more. If it was necessary, or if she simply had the whim, she'd toss him to the wolves to see who'd win."

    He finished the whiskey. "You, Lieutenant, are often crude, you are certainly rude, and have very little sense of how to be the wife--in public--of a man in Roarke's position. And you would do anything, no matter what the personal risk, to keep him from harm. She will never love him. You will never do anything but.”
    J.D. Robb, Innocent in Death

    J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye
