Quotes from Charlaine Harris

Pam: Claude, the mouthwateringly beautiful asshole?

Finally, a human man saw me as intensely valuable. Just my luck he was happily married and thought I was a freak.

So you want me to go to a human orgy, where I will not be welcome, and you want us to leave before I get to enjoy myself? ~Eric Northman

How grateful are you? he whispered, his mouth hovering over mine. His eyes were very alert now, and his gaze was boring into mine. That kind of ruins it, when you say something like that, I said, trying to keep my voice gentle. You shouldn't want me to have sex with you just because I owe you. I don't really care why you have sex with me, as long as you do it, he said, equally gently.

Sweetheart, Bill said formally, I have always loved you, and I will be proud to die in your service. When I'm gone, say a prayer for me in a real church.

A piece of happiness should never be taken as due.

This was an unpleasant trend. I didn't want a lot of guys popping in and out of my bedroom. I wanted one who would stay.

Oh, God, puppy dog eyes. From a six-foot-five ancient Viking vampire.

I have always been very fond of you. He'd always wanted to have sex with me. Plus, I want to fuck you.

I don't like having feelings, _Eric Northman

I often cried when I got angry; I hated that. Crying just made you look weak, no matter what triggered it.

The vampire is not a bad man, and he loves you

Sookie, Eric said. I didn't think he'd heard a word. Yield to me. Well, that was pretty direct.

Self-pity is like chocolate; as you get older, you can only afford a little bit.

Though I was standing in front of a mirror, I wasn't really seeing my reflection. I was seeing, very clearly, that—at the moment—I was all in the world that Eric could think of as his own. I had better not fail him.

Eric turned to me, kissed me on the lips very lightly, and looked at my face for a long moment. "He'll spare you," Eric said, and I understood he wasn't really talking to me but to himself. "You're too unique to waste." And then he opened the door.

You were so sweet when you didn't know who you were.

You take I-55 south, and you'll run into I-20. Or you could take... I was about to be overloaded with information. Oh that sounds just perfect. Let me do just that, or I'll lose track. Sure, glad I could help. Oh, you surely did. We beamed at each other, just two nice women. I had to fight an impulse to say I have a tortured vampire in my trunk, out of sheer giddiness.

You'll have to ask Bill that, Sookie. And this is the only reason we're going? You're not cleverly using this as an excuse to make out with me? I'm not that clever, Eric. I think you deceive yourself, Sookie, Eric said with a brilliant smile.

We might be on the same page, but I wasn't happy about reading it.

Are you a prude?' He seemed genuinely curious. 'No!' But after a second, I said, 'But may be compared to you, yes! I like my privacy. I get to decide who sees me naked. Do you get my point?' 'Yes. Objectively speaking, you have beautiful points.' I thought the top of my head would pop off... (Sookie Stackhouse & Claude, Dead in the Family)

I felt like a car that had only been operated by one driver… a car its new prospective buyer was determined to take to the Daytona 500.
