Quotes by Laurell K. Hamilton
Laurell K. Hamilton's insights on:
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.
I will love you always. When this red hair is white, I will still love you. When the smooth softness of youth is replaced by the delicate softness of age, I will still want to touch your skin. When your face is full of the lines of every smile you have ever smiled, of every surprise I have seen flash through your eyes, when every tear you have ever cried has left its mark upon your face, I will treasure you all the more, because I was there to see it all.
A human being does not turn another human being over to the monsters. Not for any reason.
The second you stop questioning yourself is the second that you become the monster.
Better to assume the worst and be wrong than assume the best and be wrong. Pessimism will keep you alive, optimism won't.
