“You were so sweet when you didn't know who you were.”

“I don't like having feelings," _Eric Northman”

“Sookie," Eric said. I didn't think he'd heard a word. "Yield to me."
Well, that was pretty direct.”

“Eric turned to me, kissed me on the lips very lightly, and looked at my face for a long moment. “He’ll spare you,” Eric said, and I understood he wasn’t really talking to me but to himself. “You’re too unique to waste.”
And then he opened the door.”

“A piece of happiness should never be taken as due.”

“You'll have to ask Bill that, Sookie. And this is the only reason we're going? You're not cleverly using
this as an excuse to make out with me?"

“[Eric:] "I'm hoping that the more you see me, the more I'll grow on you."
[Sookie:] "Like a fungus?”

“Though I was standing in front of a mirror, I wasn't really seeing my reflection. I was seeing, very clearly, that—at the moment—I was all in the world that Eric could think of as his own. I had better not fail him.”

“You just don't want a vampire pissed off at you.”

“We might be on the same page, but I wasn't happy about reading it.”

“I am here," Eric said.
"And I am here." I was a little amused at Eric's phone answering technique.

“Self-pity is like chocolate; as you get older, you can only afford a little bit.”

“I often cried when I got angry; I hated that. Crying just made you look weak, no matter what triggered it.”

“I’d never seen anything like it. First a trial, then a few murders, then dancing. Life goes on. Or, in this case, death continues.”

“Sometimes, instead of going down the road less taken, you just charge down the beaten path.”

“I didn't know what to think about first: me seeing Claude naked, Claude seeing me naked, or the whole fact that we were related and naked in the same room.

“If it's easy to be friendly she will be. If the wind blows the other way her friendship will be gone. And I'm thinking the wind is blowing the other way. She has found some other way to be an important person in her own right by hating others.”

“My brother, Jason, came into the bar, then, and sauntered over to give me a hug. He knows that women like a man who's good to his family and also kind to the disabled, so hugging me is a double whammy of recommendation.”

'Ick!' I cried, and dropped the letter on the kitchen table.”

"What did you expect?"
"I expected you'd come over here because you couldn't wait an extra minute to have fabulous, mind-blowing sex with me.”

“Snow, here?" Eric was as delighted as a child. "I love snow!"
Why was I not surprised?
