Journey Into Darkness (Mindhunter #2)
by
""As parents we may not always be able to prevent all the horrible things that I've seen happen to kids. But we can prevent some of them if we try to understand the nature of the threat and the range of personality types and motivations of the threateners. It's critical that we try." / John Douglas, ch. 3, pg.69"

Wolfsong (Green Creek, #1)
by
""People could be cruel. They could be beautiful, but they could be cruel too. It's like something so lovely can't just be lovely. It also has to be harsh and corroding. It's a complexity I didn't understand." / Written in first person, this book is beautifully written and the characters are written even more so."

Hannibal Rising (Hannibal Lecter, #4)
by
""Hannibal Lecter, last of his line, stood in the looted castle of his childhood looking into the empty picture frame in the knowledge that he was of his line and not of his line. His memories were of his mother, a Sforza, and of Cook and Mr. Jakov from a tradition other than his own. He could see them in the empty frame, gathered before the fire at the lodge." / Ch. 11, pg.67"

Interview with the Vampire (The Vampire Chronicles, #1)
by
""Am I damned? Am I from the devil? Is my very nature that of a devil? I was asking myself over and over. And if it is, why then do I revolt against it, tremble when Babette hurls a flaming lantern at me, turn away in disgust when Lestat kills? What have I become in becoming a vampire? Where am I to go?" / Louis de Pointe du Lac, pt. 1, pg.69 / Again, beautifully written. I love Louis and his story, this book is a true vampire classic!"

A Clash of Kings (A Song of Ice and Fire, #2)
by
""When at last she slept, she dreamt of home. The kings road wound past Winterfell on it's way to the Wall, and Yoren had promised he'd leave her there with no one the wiser about who she'd been. She yearned to see her mother again, and Robb and Bran and Rickon...but it was Jon Snow she thought of most. She wished somehow they could come to the Wall before Winterfell, so Jon might muss up her hair and call her "little sister." She'd tell him, "I missed you," and he'd say it too at the very same moment, the way they always used to say things together. She would have liked that. She would have liked that better than anything." / Ch. 1, pg.33"

""That what I need to survive is not Gale's fire, kindled with rage and hatred. I have plenty of fire myself. What I need is the dandelion in the spring. The bright yellow that means rebirth instead of destruction. The promise that life can go on, no matter how bad our losses. That it can be good again. And only Peeta can give me that. So after, when he whispers, "You love me. Real or not real?" I tell him, "Real."" / Katniss Everdeen, ch.27, pg.436"

""I can see her shining in the sky through the little window by my desk, and tonight she seems calling to be again as she has not called before since that long dead night, and I think I can see, across that awful abyss of space, a beautiful black-haired women standing in the garden of a palace, and at her side is a little boy who puts his arm around her as she points into the sky toward the planet Earth, while at their feet is a huge and hideous creature with a heart of gold. I believe that they are waiting there for me, and something tells me that I shall soon know." / John Carter, ch.28, pg.174"
