Women may get to wear lots of pretty colors, but men get the comfortable shoes. Anita Blake Vampire Hunter

I'm not terribly fond of soapboxes.

Can you truly love anyone if you do not first love yourself? If you hate yourself, can you love anyone else? If you do not accept all of who you are, can you accept anyone else? Hard questions. It remains to be seen whether I get any answers, hard, or otherwise.

You walk like a duck with a wet diaper on.'' Anita Blake Vampire Hunter

There are some things more important than physical survival. You gotta be able to look at yourself in the mirror.

I hate being awake at three in the morning. It is the godforsaken heart of darkness when the body runs slow, and the brain runs slower, and all you want to do is sleep. But I had promises to keep, and miles to go before I could sleep. Or at least a couple of miracles to perform before I could go to bed.

What is love? Sometimes it's just letting yourself be who and what you are, and letting the person you're supposed to love be who and what he is too. Or maybe what and who they are.
