Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter Collection 11-15 Quotes

“There comes a point where you just love someone. Not because they’re good, or bad, or anything really. You just love them. It doesn’t mean you’ll be together forever. It doesn’t mean you won’t hurt each other. It just means you love them. Sometimes in spite of who they are, and sometimes because of who they are. And you know that they love you, sometimes because of who you are, and sometimes in spite of it.”
― Laurell K. Hamilton, Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter Collection 11-15

“Maybe God isn’t the sex police, Richard. Sometimes I think Christians get all hung up on the sex thing because it’s easier to worry about sex than to ask yourself, Am I a good person? If as long as you don’t have sex with a lot of people you’re a good person, that’s easy. It’s easy to avoid that. It’s easy to think, I’m not fucking anyone, so I’m good. It makes it easy to be cruel, because as long as you’re not fucking around, nothing you do can be that bad. Is that really all you think of God? Is he just the sex police for you and Malcolm? Or is it that sex is easy to worry about, easy to avoid, and the whole love-your-neighbor-as-you-love-yourself thing that’s hard? Some days it’s so hard, I feel like trying to take care of everyone in my life will break me apart. But I do my best. I do my best for everyone in my life every damn day. Can you say that, Richard? Do you do your best for everyone in your life every damn day?”

“I’d like to save all my friends, but if someone is bent on self-destruction, there is only so much you can do. You can’t shovel other people’s shit for them, not unless they’re willing to pick up a shovel and help.”
