Laurell K. Hamilton Quotes

Love sucks. Sometimes it feels good. Sometimes it's just another way to bleed.

Love is too precious to be ashamed of.

Accidental sex. He made it sound like I fell down, and there just happened to be an erection in the way.

The truth may not set you free, but used carefully, it can confuse the hell out of your enemies.

Neither love nor evil conquers all, but evil cheats more.

You can't save everybody. In fact, there are days when I think you can't save anyone. Each person has to save himself first, then you can move in and help. I have found this philosophy does not work during a gun battle, or a knife fight either. Outside of that it works just fine.
