    Laurell K. Hamilton
    “My father had taught me to be nice first, because you can always be mean later, but once you've been mean to someone, they won't believe the nice anymore. So be nice, be nice, until it's time to stop being nice, then destroy them.”
    Laurell K. Hamilton, A Stroke of Midnight

    Richelle Mead
    “Are you okay with what we ordered?” Angeline asked him. “You didn’t pipe up with any requests.”

    Neil shook his head, face stoic. He kept his dark hair in a painfully short and efficient haircut. It was the kind of no-nonsense thing the Alchemists would’ve loved. “I can’t waste time quibbling over trivial things like pepperoni and mushrooms. If you’d gone to my school in Devonshire, you’d understand. For one of my sophomore classes, they left us alone on the moors to fend for ourselves and learn survival skills. Spend three days eating twigs and heather, and you’ll learn not to argue about any food coming your way.”

    Angeline and Jill cooed as though that was the most rugged, manly thing they’d ever heard. Eddie wore an expression that reflected what I felt, puzzling over whether this guy was as serious as he seemed or just some genius with swoon-worthy lines.”
    Richelle Mead, The Fiery Heart

    Sherrilyn Kenyon
    “And speaking of scary things, I need to leave. My guides are fading even as we speak. (Talon)
    I hate when you commune with the dead in front of me. (Kyrian)
    Are you the asshole who sent the 'I See Dead People' T-shirt to me? (Talon)
    That would be Wulf. (Kyrian)”
    Sherrilyn Kenyon, Night Pleasures

    Seanan McGuire
    “I would love a sandwich,' said Tybalt, with enough gravity to make it sound like a formal proclamation. Resolved: that we will have ham and cheese sandwiches.”
    Seanan McGuire, Ashes of Honor

  • #5
    Cassandra Clare
    “A very magnanimous statement, Gideon,” said Magnus.
    “I’m Gabriel.”
    Magnus waved a hand. “All Lightwoods look the same to me.”
    Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Princess

    Julie Kagawa
    “Right, cause I'm bleeding all over the place for shits and giggles.”
    Julie Kagawa, The Iron King

  • #7
    Ilona Andrews
    “Kate?”
    I have a superior reaction time. That was why although I shot out of my chair, jumped onto my desk, and attempted to stab the intruder into my office in the throat, I stopped the blade two inches before it touched Andrea’s neck. Because she was my best friend, and sticking knives into your best friend’s windpipe was generally considered to be a social faux pas.
    Andrea stared at the black blade of the throwing dagger. “That was great,” she said. “What will you do for a dollar?”
    Ilona Andrews, Magic Strikes

    Ilona Andrews
    “So crosses don't do anything against your kind?" Sean asked.

    "No," Arland said. "There is no mystical force repelling us."

    "Then why?"

    "We're forbidden to kill a creature in a moment of prayer or invocation of their deity. Well, we can, technically, but you have to do penance and purify yourself and nobody wants to spend weeks praying and bathing themselves in the sacred cave springs. The water's only a fraction warmer than ice. When one of you holds up a cross, it's difficult to determine whether you're praying, invoking, or just waving it around. So the sane strategy is to back away.”
    Ilona Andrews, Clean Sweep

    Ilona Andrews
    “Why is everyone calling me Consort?"
    "Jim designated you as Consort in official papers. You don't want to be called Mate, calling you Alpha is confusing, and 'Beast Lady' makes people laugh.”
    Ilona Andrews, Magic Slays

  • #10
    Darynda Jones
    “He took a long draw then asked, “What’d I do?”
    “You knew about the guy threatening my dad?”
    He paused, shifted in his chair, so freaking busted, it wasn’t funny. “They told you?”
    “Why, no, Swopes, they didn’t. Instead, they waited until the guy knocked the fuck out of my dad and readied him for spaceflight with duct tape then tried to kill me with a butcher’s knife.”
    Darynda Jones, Second Grave on the Left

  • #11
    Cassandra Clare
    “WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING?" There was a sound of shattering glass, and they both sat up to see Alec glaring at them. He had dropped the empty bottle of wine he had been carrying, and there were bits of sparkly glass all over the cave floor. "WHY CAN'T YOU GO SOMEWHERE ELSE TO DO THESE HORRIBLE THINGS? MY EYES."

    "It's a demon realm, Alec," Isabelle said. "There's nowhere for us to go."

    "And you said I should look after her-" Simon began, then realized that would not be a productive line of conversation, and shut up.”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Heavenly Fire

    Ilona Andrews
    “Just wait until he figures out I shut him out of his slut hut.”
    Ilona Andrews, Magic Bleeds

  • #13
    Suzanne Collins
    “Want a sugar cube? [...] They're supposed to be for the horses, but who cares? They've got years to eat sugar, whereas you and I . . . well, if we see something sweet we better grab it quick. [...] You're absolutely terrifying me in that get-up. What happened to the pretty little-girl dresses?”
    Suzanne Collins, Catching Fire

  • #14
    Ilona Andrews
    “As I walked back to civilization, I realized that for the first time in the six months I had known Curran, we had managed to have a conversation and part ways without wanting to kill each other. I found that fact deeply troubling.”
    Ilona Andrews, Magic Strikes

  • #15
    Ilona Andrews
    “My youngest brother killed a lynx yesterday,” Rose said.
    “Apparently it came into his territory and left some spray marks. He skinned it, smeared himself in its blood, and put its pelt on his shoulders like a cape. And that’s how he came dressed for breakfast.”
    Cerise drank some beer. “My sister kills small animals and hangs their
    corpses on a tree, because she thinks she is a monster and she’s convinced
    we’ll eventually banish her from the house. They’re her rations. Just in case.”
    Rose blinked. “I see. I think we’re going to get along just fine, don’t you?”
    “I think so, yes.”
    Ilona Andrews, Bayou Moon

    “The strongest steel is forged by the fires of hell. (Savitar)”
    Sherrilyn Kenyon

  • #17
    Cassandra Clare
    “Magnus glared at him out of gold-green eyes. “If I wanted to lie on a couch and
    complain to someone about my parents, I’d hire a psychiatrist.”
    “Ah,” said Jace. “But my services are free.”
    “I heard that about you.”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Heavenly Fire

    Darynda Jones
    “Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong. -T-Shirt”
    Darynda Jones, Third Grave Dead Ahead

    Jennifer A. Nielsen
    “Above all else, I think that you are a compulsive liar."
    My laughter was tense, but sincere. "Hardly. In fact, I consider myself a compulsive truth teller. It's only that everyone else seems compelled to misunderstand me.”
    Jennifer A. Nielsen, The Runaway King

    Sherrilyn Kenyon
    “My father used to say that life is what you make it. Today is the first day of the rest of your life. You can’t change the past, but the future isn’t set in stone. You can effect a change there. Move forward not with hatred or love. Move forward with purpose. (Simone)”
    Sherrilyn Kenyon, Dream Chaser

  • #21
    Cassandra Clare
    “I think Zachariah just stole our cat. I swear I saw him putting Church into the backseat of a car.”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Heavenly Fire

  • #22
    Ilona Andrews
    “And let’s be honest, you weren’t exactly harmed. I even took you home.” “You dumped me on my doorstep. According to my mother, I looked half dead.” “Your mother exaggerates. A third dead at most.” I stared at him. Wow. Just wow.”
    Ilona Andrews, Burn for Me

  • #23
    Sherrilyn Kenyon
    “I’ll check on you when I get home. I love you, baby. (Kiefer)
    I love you too, Daddy. (Kiara)
    What the hell was that action? (Syn)
    I think it’s something called ‘paternal concern.’ (Nykyrian)
    What…? You sure? I thought that crap was a myth. (Syn)
    No, really. I watched it once in a documentary. It was fascinating. Believe it or not, there are people out there who actually have feelings for their progeny. (Nykyrian)
    Get the fuck out. No way. You’re screwing with my head again, aren’t you? (Syn)
    No, I swear. You just saw it with your own eyes. I did not make that shit up. (Nykyrian)
    Yeah but it’s really messing with my concept of the natural order of the universe. Paternal love? What’s next? Limb regrowth? Genetic splicing reversals? (Syn)”
    Sherrilyn Kenyon, Born of the Night

  • #24
    Laurell K. Hamilton
    “What is that old children’s rhyme, ‘Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me’? Anyone who says that doesn’t understand the power of words. They can cut deeper than any knife, hit harder than any fist, touch parts of you that nothing physical will ever reach, and the wounds that some words leave never heal, because each time the word is thrown at you, labeled on you, you bleed afresh from it. It’s more like a whip that cuts every time, until you feel it must flay the very skin from your bones, and yet outwardly there is no wound to show the world, so they think you are not hurt, when inside part of you dies every time.”
    Laurell K. Hamilton, A Shiver of Light

  • #25
    Cassandra Clare
    “Magnus, we’re going down to the lake," he said. "Do you want to come?"
    “Why?” Magnus inquired.
    Alec shrugged, “Clary says it’s pretty,” he said. “I mean, I’ve seen it before, but there was a huge angel rising out of it, and that was distracting.”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Heavenly Fire

  • #26
    Rachel Vincent
    “I think some men are born with big egos, to make up for the lack of certain neessary equipment. Like a brain.”
    Rachel Vincent, Stray

  • #27
    Sherrilyn Kenyon
    “I don’t like your hair black. (Artemis)
    And I don’t like your head attached to your shoulders. Guess we can’t all have what we want, huh? (Acheron)”
    Sherrilyn Kenyon, Acheron

  • #28
    Cassandra Clare
    “And maybe it would have bitten you in half," said Will. "What you are describing, the transformation into a demon, is the last stage of the pox."
    "Will!" Charlotte threw up her hands. "Why didn't you say so?"
    "You know, the books on demon pox are in the library," Will said with an injured tone. "I wasn't preventing anyone from reading them."
    "Yes, but if Benedict was going to turn into an enormous serpent, you'd think you could at least have mentioned it," said Charlotte. "As a matter of general interest.”
    Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Princess

  • #29
    Sherrilyn Kenyon
    “Hey!" Caleb snapped as he realized Nick was about to lock him on the outside with their attackers. He pushed the door open and glared at him. "No man left behind."

    Nick scoffed. "This aint' the army, boy. It's every man for himself. Fall behind. Get eaten”
    Sherrilyn Kenyon, Infinity

  • #30
    Seanan McGuire
    “It’s not that Etienne dislikes Tybalt. Etienne just dislikes chaos, and Tybalt causes almost as much commotion as I do. Sometimes more, when he really sets his mind to it, although my chaos is a little more destructive, if I do say so myself.”
    Seanan McGuire, Ashes of Honor
