But if you ever bring her back damaged again - and I don't care whose fault it is; I don't care if she merely trips, or if a meteor falls out of the sky and hits her in the head - if you return her to me in less than the perfect condition that I left her in, you will be running with three legs.

Happiness expanded like an explosion inside me – so extreme, so violent that I wasn’t sure I’d survive it.

I stared because their faces, so different, so similar, were all devastatingly, inhumanly beautiful.

I've seen little pieces of 'Interview with a Vampire' when it was on TV, but I kind of always go yuck! I don't watch R-rated movies, so that really cuts down on a lot of the horror.

I’ve chosen my life — now I want to start living it.

Love doesn't always come in convenient packages.

The thing people don't realize, God bless them, is that my books are supposed to suck.
