Laurell K. Hamilton

Never criticize, unless you can do a better job.

That [is] the true terror of love, that you could love with your whole heart, your whole soul, and lose both.

Graves are for the living, not the dead. It gives us something to concentrate on instead of the fact that our loved one is rotting under the ground. The dead don't care about pretty flowers and carved marble statues.

There are wounds that never show on the body that are deeper and more hurtful than anything that bleeds.

Only love of a good woman will make a man question every choice, every action. Only love makes a warrior hesitate for fear that his lady will find him cruel. Only love makes a man both the best he will ever be, and the weakest. Sometimes all in the same moment.

When in doubt, take a deep breath and keep moving.

If you love someone, you shouldn`t make them miserable. It`s a rule somewhere, or should be.

Pity is an emotion that can get you killed. The only thing more dangerous is blind hate, and maybe love.

Every human being is special. Every death is a loss of something precious and irreplaceable.

I still [...] nothing, but I tried real hard. Sometimes, that is the best you can do. Maybe the best anyone can do.

When something works, stay with it.

People are supposed to fear the unknown, but ignorance is bliss when knowledge is so damn frightening.

Most hatred is based on fear, one way or another.

Never taking a chance is the worst failure of all.

Compassion is not weakness, [...] only those without compassion think otherwise.
