Quotes by Sherrilyn Kenyon

It’s amazing the damage we do to ourselves and others when all we’re trying to do is protect ourselves from being hurt.

Lydia: Strange how you always remember the pain someone gave you, but seldom the hurt you caused them.

We all have scars, Kere. Inside and out. Wounds that go so deep, they leave a permanent mark on us. But that doesn’t make them ugly or revolting.

And I think your scars are beautiful because they are what have made you the man I care about.” - Zarya Starska

What do you want me to say? he asked, his voice sharp and moody. That I had a moment of weakness when I saw it?That for an instant I felt the pang of being homesick? Yeah, I did. There, you now know the Dark-Hunter who has no soul has a heart. Are you happy? I already knew you had a heart. He stopped at a red light and looked at her. A fierce frown creased his brow as if he were trying to figure her out.Believe it or not, she continued, it shows in everything you do.

In the heart and in the soul, evil takes its wicked toll. When moonlight shines like flowing blood, over the earth, the Daimons will flood

Do you believe in eternal love, Vane?He nodded. When you live for hundreds of years, you see all kinds of things.How does someone know the difference between that and infatuation?He sat up between her legs, then pulled her into his lap to cuddle. I dont think there is a difference. Ithink infatuation is like a garden. If tended and cared for, it grows into love. If neglected or abused itdies. The only way to have eternal love is to never let your heart forget what its like to live without it.

Where I come from, familys defined as those who dont screw you over a paycheck. Blood makes no difference. If you can trust them with your life and know that theyll be there come whatever hell rains down, then theyre your family.

But life isn’t about learning to forgive those who have hurt you or forgetting your past. It’s about learning to forgive yourself for being human and making mistakes. Yes, people disappoint us all the time. But the harshest lessons come when we disappoint ourselves. When we put our trust and our hearts into the hands of the wrong person and they do us wrong. And while we may hate them for what they did, the one we hate most is ourself for allowing them into our private circle. How could I have been so stupid? How could I let them deceive me? We all go through that. It’s humanity’s Brotherhood of Misery.

Everyone suffers at least one bad betrayal in their lifetime. It’s what unites us. The trick is not to let it destroy your trust in others when that happens. Don’t let them take that from you.
