― Kresley Cole, Pleasure of a Dark Prince

“He's like six hundred years younger than you are. I refuse to be the moral compass of our cell! Most weekends I have an intoxispell bong attached to my mouth like a respirator. I love scatological humor, and I list 'pranks involving nuclear waste' and 'making demons eat things' as my hobbies.”
― Kresley Cole, Dreams of a Dark Warrior

“This is what I saw, in the reflections of the tomb." She whispered it almost to herself, broken-voiced. "It's what the goddess dreamed, but I thought I could prevent it. I thought you would choose the world over yourself."

"I'm far too selfish for that," Lore whispered.”
― Hannah F. Whitten, The Foxglove King

“Truth is, Frauka, none of us know you very well at all. We can't read you.'
'Story of my life. You have no idea whatsoever how hard it is to be an untouchable. Everyone feels the absence, and it makes them uncomfortable. You get treated like shit. Working for Ravenor's the only decent job I've ever had, the only time I've felt worth anything. I guess that's over now, isn't it? Get off my back. I've covered yours long enough, and I deserve more respect, even if I make you uncomfortable.”
― Dan Abnett, Ravenor Rogue

“Beyond the Final Water falling,
The Songs of Spheres recalling,
Won’t you return to me?”

“The vampire live on, and cannot die by mere passing of the time,
he can flourish when that he can fatten on the blood of the living. Even more,
we have seen amongst us that he can even grow younger, that his vital faculties
grow strenuous, and seem as though they refresh themselves when his special
pabulum is plenty.

"But he cannot flourish without this diet, he eat not as others. Even friend
Jonathan, who lived with him for weeks, did never see him eat, never! He
throws no shadow, he make in the mirror no reflect, as again Jonathan observe.
He has the strength of many of his hand, witness again Jonathan when he shut
the door against the wolves, and when he help him from the diligence too. He
can transform himself to wolf, as we gather from the ship arrival in Whitby,
when he tear open the dog, he can be as bat, as Madam Mina saw him on the
window at Whitby, and as friend John saw him fly from this so near house, and
as my friend Quincey saw him at the window of Miss Lucy.

"He can come in mist which he create, that noble ship's captain proved him
of this, but, from what we know, the distance he can make this mist is limited,
and it can only be round himself.

"He come on moonlight rays as elemental dust, as again Jonathan saw
those sisters in the castle of Dracula. He become so small, we ourselves saw
Miss Lucy, ere she was at peace, slip through a hairbreadth space at the tomb
door. He can, when once he find his way, come out from anything or into
anything, no matter how close it be bound or even fused up with fire, solder
you call it. He can see in the dark, no small power this, in a world which is one
half shut from the light. Ah, but hear me through.

"He can do all these things, yet he is not free. Nay, he is even more
prisoner than the slave of the galley, than the madman in his cell. He cannot go
where he lists, he who is not of nature has yet to obey some of nature's laws,
why we know not. He may not enter anywhere at the first, unless there be some
one of the household who bid him to come, though afterwards he can come as
he please. His power ceases, as does that of all evil things, at the coming of the
day.

"Only at certain times can he have limited freedom. If he be not at the
place whither he is bound, he can only change himself at noon or at exact
sunrise or sunset. These things we are told, and in this record of ours we have
proof by inference. Thus, whereas he can do as he will within his limit, when
he have his earth-home, his coffin-home, his hell-home, the place unhallowed,
as we saw when he went to the grave of the suicide at Whitby, still at other
time he can only change when the time come. It is said, too, that he can only
pass running water at the slack or the flood of the tide. Then there are things
which so afflict him that he has no power, as the garlic that we know of, and as
for things sacred, as this symbol, my crucifix, that was amongst us even now
when we resolve, to them he is nothing, but in their presence he take his place
far off and silent with respect. There are others, too, which I shall tell you of,
lest in our seeking we may need them.”
― Bram Stoker, Dracula

― Anna-Marie McLemore, Lakelore

“The nosferatu do not die like the bee when he sting once. He is only stronger, and being stronger, have yet more power to work evil. This vampire which is amongst us is of himself so strong in person as twenty men, he is of cunning more than mortal, for his cunning be the growth of ages, he have still the aids of necromancy, which is, as his etymology imply, the divination by the dead, and all the dead that he can come nigh to are for him at command; he is brute, and more than brute; he is devil in callous, and the heart of him is not; he can, within his range, direct the elements, the storm, the fog, the thunder; he can command all the meaner things, the rat, and the owl, and the bat, the moth, and the fox, and the wolf, he can grow and become small; and he can at times vanish and come unknown.”
― Bram Stoker, Dracula

― Julien Estourgie, From a Bronze Dusk

“This was the thing with boys like him. What he was feeling just then, that rage, wasn't the world falling in on him. It was an illusion shattering, the one that told him he deserved everything, and that it was owed to him simply because he existed.”
― Alexandra Bracken, Lore

“Although I accept what I once regarded as superstitions as occulted fact, my grasp of the esoteric is limited. My guess is that they are a type of psyker, whose empowerment is stabilised by their faith in the Emperor. The Sisters of Battle manifest psychic effects when sorely pressed, and these are brought on by their faith. It may be a saint is merely an extreme example of this phenomenon.”
― Guy Haley, Plague War

“The girl's abilities are subdued by hexagrammatic chains. She is blanked by Obsidian Knight Voi. If she were a vessel of the Emperor's will, neither of these things would affect her.”
― Guy Haley, Plague War

― Guy Haley, Godblight

“Some say that if you look deep into a cat's eyes you will see the world of the fairies.”
― Claire Cock-Starkey

― Guy Haley, The Last Days of Ector

“I have no idea what you eat,” I murmur, frowning. “But we’ll find something. I’m sure Lore will help. You’ll like him. He’s got your eyes.”

“If you’re planning on naming the barghest after the redcap, don’t.” Drystan’s tone is downright frosty as he checks Blizzard’s tack once more. “He’ll become insufferable.”
― Marie Mistry, Beyond the Faerie Gate

“Cashewblai Pecan was a mighty conqueror, much as his grandsire Genghis had been.
Under his yasa, all roadways were safe for travelers and honest men.
‘Twas by many a wise tongue said,
That a maiden with a golden vessel on her head,
Might walk alone without fear or dread.
From the great eastern sea all the way to Mesopotamia,
Such was the promise of the Pax Macadamia!”
― Daniel Thorman, The Zodiac Quest: A LitRPG Adventure
