Death didn't bother me much. Strong Christian and all that.... - Laurell K. Hamilton, The Laughing Corpse

"Death didn't bother me much. Strong Christian and all that. Method of death did. Being eaten alive. One of my top three ways not to go out."

"Death, especially violent death, will turn the meanest bastard in the world into a nice guy. Why is that?"

"His eyes widened just a bit, his lips flexed. I realized he was trying not to laugh. I hate it when people find my threats amusing."
