Wisdom of Anita Blake: Danse Macabre edition
January 10, 2018
I’m cleaning of my desk…yeah that’s it…not trying to avoid responsibilities or anything…stop looking at me that way. Tired of these yet? 🙂 I hope not as I still have 10 or so books to go and I seem to be going through them at a quick pace lately.
- Hot anger can feel good, but the cold will protect you better
- Only family can fight as dirty as best friends.
- You don’t poach your friends’ guys. That is a rule.
- …some promises you can’t keep no matter how hard you try.
- The practicalities of life do not cease needing to be done just because other things are going wrong.
- Just because something’s hard doesn’t mean you give up on it.
- Leaving a little bit of sperm behind doesn’t make you a father. It’s what you do afterward…
- It was a coldness of the heart, or the soul, or the mind. That cold that eats a hole through the middle of who you are and leaves something dark and awful behind.
- Lack of sleep makes anyone’s temper worse, and makes the most expedient solution look good.
- A child is a great blessing…but like other great blessings, they require a great deal of time, attention and energy.
- …life isn’t fair, but I try to be.
- Feelings are never stupid, the just make us feel stupid sometimes.
- Intercourse you want to last as long as possible; orally duration is not always an asset. Two very different skill sets.
- Still it might be nice, once in a while, not to have to choose between evils. Just once, couldn’t I choose from the lesser good?
- The idea of the feudal system is that the people at the top take care of the needs of those on the bottom, but I have seldom seen it work that way….it’s like trickle-down economics; it only works if the people at the top are really good, decent people. The system is only as good as the people in power.
- …you can’t run from yourself.
- There are always mysteries and surprises in every love affair.
- When I was younger, I’d wanted someone to promise me that things would work out and nothing bad would would every happen again. But I understood now that that was a child’s wish. No one could promise that. No one. The grown-ups could try, but they couldn’t’ promise, not and mean it.
- Guns only work against things you’re willing to kill. If you’re not willing to kill, then a gun is, in some ways, a false sense of security.
- Some people are mysteries and knowing them well doesn’t make them less mysterious. Less confusing sometimes, but not less mysterious.
- Important safety tip: if you’re going to do the big threatening speech, be in a comfortable shooting stance when you do it.
- Love is too precious to waste…
- no one likes knowing that they’re utterly replaceable. We all like to be special.
- …burns just seem made to eat the world. The pain eats everything else. You can’t think about anything but the pain. The grinding, biting, aching, nauseating pain.
- …slang does not travel well, not across countries, or centuries.
