Neada’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for Adam (The Protectors, #5)

Adam (The Protectors, #5) by Teresa Gabelman

1 note

Does every bad guy in the story have to call women bitches. There are tons of other derogatory names for women. This one is getting old.

“There was nothing like their will to survive and to protect. They were truly the most vicious and loyal creatures ever born. And she had callously thrown that away for a group of bitches who lacked all understanding of real loyalty.”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, Dragonbane

“People who cease to believe in God or goodness altogether still believe in the devil. I don’t know why. No, I do indeed know why. Evil is always possible. And goodness is eternally difficult.”
― Anne Rice, Interview with the Vampire

“It is entirely possible for wise and educated persons to disagree about points of fact. But facts are stubborn things. Whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter facts and evidence. We must strip away the rest. The happiness of the people is the aim of any good government.”
― Jeff Wheeler, The Void of Muirwood

“It’s easy to look at people and make quick judgments about them, their present and their past, but you’d be amazed at the pain and tears a single smile hides. What a person shows to the world is only one tiny facet of the iceberg hidden from sight. And more often than not, it’s lined with cracks and scars that go all the way to the foundation of their soul.”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, Acheron

“they had not yet been destroyed as Africans completely. Slavery was the curse of their existence; but they had not been robbed yet of that which had been characteristically theirs. They tolerated the baptism and modest garments imposed on them by the French Catholic laws; but in the evenings, they made their cheap fabrics into alluring costumes, made jewelry of animal bones and bits of discarded metal which they polished to look like gold; and the slave cabins of Pointe du Lac were a foreign country, an African coast after dark, in which not even the coldest overseer would want to wander.”
― Anne Rice, Interview with the Vampire
