Quotes by Margaret Maron  (?)

“Every time we start thinking we're the center of the universe, the universe turns around and says with a slightly distracted air, 'I'm sorry. What'd you say your name was again?”
Margaret Maron, Bootlegger's Daughter

“A woman’s body doesn’t quit just because her heart breaks.”
Margaret Maron

“Okay,” I say at last. “But you have to teach me how to do animals. I can’t keep myself from wilting when I’m a plant, so I’ve been afraid to try a living form.”
She laughs and shifts into the shape of a large golden retriever and almost licks me to death before I can make her stop.”
Margaret Maron, Crimes by Moonlight: Mysteries from the Dark Side
