“You're a stalker with hooves."
"I am not! I followed her to the Big House and hid in a bush and watched the whole thing.”
― Rick Riordan, The Titan’s Curse

“Let everything that's been planned come true. Let them believe. And let them have a laugh at their passions. Because what they call passion actually is not some emotional energy, but just the friction between their souls and the outside world. And most important, let them believe in themselves. Let them be helpless like children, because weakness is a great thing, and strength is nothing. When a man is just born, he is weak and flexible. When he dies, he is hard and insensitive. When a tree is growing, it's tender and pliant. But when it's dry and hard, it dies. Hardness and strength are death's companions. Pliancy and weakness are expressions of the freshness of being. Because what has hardened will never win.”
― Andrei Tarkovsky

“I sneaked out to his house a couple times in the middle of the night to watch over him while he slept, just in case, I don't know, his comic book collection decided to spontaneously combust. This was dumb and admittedly creepy in an Edward Cullen kind of way.”
― Cynthia Hand, Hallowed

“Don't play his game. Play yours.”
― Rachel Caine, Fall of Night

“What are you going to do? Are you going to live in the dark, locked in here? Afraid to look out, answer the door, leave? Yes, he's out there, and he's clearly not going to leave you alone until one of three things happens: he hurts you and gets arrested, or he makes a mistake and gets arrested, or you stop him.”
― Rachel Caine, Fall of Night

“I would be lying if I said I didn't get a kick out of the assignment. Here I am, a "troubled youth," and my self-chosen treatment is to become a stalker. Okay, not stalker. Research Analyst.”
― Lindsey Leavitt, Sean Griswold's Head

“Are you stalking me, Mr. Fulton?" The idea both amused and horrified Jazz.”
― Barry Lyga, I Hunt Killers

“I don't believe outstandingly beautiful and charismatic women create obsession in what would otherwise be normal men, but rather they attract the weirdos and the stalkers; flames in the darkness that these disturbing people inhabit, unwittingly drawing them closer until they extinguish the very flame they were drawn to.”
― Rosamund Lupton, Sister

“He had to get inside. It was essential that he know everything, the routes she took, her schedule, and the lay of the land.
The silver moon glowed overhead, mocking him. Somewhere in the trees an owl hooted its laughter at his failure.

“Mom was silent for a moment. “I’m sorry, Melissa, but can you blame me for worrying? In less than an hour I found out you’re being stalked by a killer, sleeping with a stranger, and hiding with him in an empty apartment. You have to admit that sounds…unsettling.”
― Robin DeJarnett, Whirlwind

“Terri had already gotten her panties into a bunch just from one little phone call, so he knew coming at her too much too fast would be more trouble than it was worth. He couldn’t exactly beat her into submission, not right away anyway. Although he did enjoy seeing her get all riled up.
Nothing tugged at a man’s heartstrings like a pair of mascara smeared eyes.

Randy from Spring Cleaning-- Coming Summer 2012”
― Brandi Salazar, Spring Cleaning

“Takva je granica između ljubavi i obožavanja. Još tanja je granica između obožavanja i ludila. Ono što razdvaja ludilo od obožavanja je stvarnost. Da li te voli onaj koga voliš? Da li zna da postojiš?”
― Tamara Kučan, Bivirgata

“The closer your social media you is to the real you, the happier you’ll be.”
― Sean Patrick Brennan, Moments to Spare

“She would hate him even more if she knew all the depraved things he’d done. The fantasies, the stalking, the fucking obsession. That he had used her shampoo to jerk off and stolen her clothes, her lipstick. That when she wasn’t around, he had sometimes lain in her bed and imagined what it would be like to touch her the way she said she’d wanted to be touched in her journal.

And of course, he had watched her touch herself. Every catch of her breath, every discreet rustle of fabric, every teasing glimpse of brown skin—he had seen it all, and taken it as a sign that not even Jay was immune to pleasure. And, more importantly, that he could give it to her.

He could be the one to make her come.”
― Nenia Campbell, Sine Qua Non

“No one really cares about the truth, only the illusion of truth.”
― Sean Patrick Brennan, Moments to Spare

― Sean Patrick Brennan, Moments to Spare

“If a few weeks earlier she’d been shocked to hear of the murder in their small town, now she felt as if there weren’t enough murders. There weren’t enough victims cut down for their lies, their treachery, and their utter stupidity.”
― Sean Patrick Brennan, Moments to Spare

“Like a once clever fish that kept slipping the hook, [he'd] finally been caught, pulled at last from the dark, deep waters of his treachery and lies.”
― Sean Patrick Brennan, Moments to Spare

“When he spoke, it was to the gun, as if it was the one in control, the one he’d need to negotiate with.”
― Sean Patrick Brennan, Moments to Spare

“He watched his captive as if admiring a cute little puppy begging for a snack, and his face shined with genuine amusement.”
― Sean Patrick Brennan, Moments to Spare

“I’m going to fuck you all night in the same bed where your now-dead husband used to sleep.”
― K. Webster, Thomas

“I want to keep you,�� he repeats. I almost can’t make out his words. He’s close. Voice shaking, scratchy, a low growl penetrated by groans and gasps. “Keep you here where I can make sure you’re safe. Where no one will ever hurt you. I will make you smile every day, forever. All you have to do is live, Oakley. Smile for me. Laugh. I’ll give you the world.�� He shivers and I barely hear the last two words: “Love me,�� he whispers.”
― Crea Reitan, Loren

“Be usefull, not useless.”
― TC Williams, Resident Stalker: The Superintendent Chronicles

“A stalker may vanish from their target's radar, but the target will never disappear from theirs. Out of sight is cold comfort, not safety. The shock or denial that they are now hunted prey in their former life is a potentially fatal illusion. Like a leopard with its unchangeable spots, a stalker's obsessive mindset is always their default pattern.”
― Stewart Stafford
