“Why do you pretend what we do is nothing?” she asked. “Every day, all the chaos and messiness of life happens and every day we clean it all up. Without us, they would just wallow in filth and disorder and nothing of any consequence would ever get done. Who taught you to sneer at that? I’ll tell you who. Someone who took their mother for granted.” ― Grady Hendrix, The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires
“Dying isn’t the important thing. It’s nothing more than the punctuation mark on the end of your life. It’s everything that came before that matters. Punctuation marks, most people skip right over them. They don’t even have a sound.” ― Grady Hendrix, The Final Girl Support Group
“Let's make sure it's really raining before we worry about floods.” ― Grady Hendrix, Horrorstör

“With this book, I wanted to pit a man freed from all responsibilities but his appetites against women whose lives are shaped by their endless responsibilities.

“A girl with a guitar never has to apologize for anything.” ― Grady Hendrix, We Sold Our Souls

“I've had three children . . . And some man who's never felt . . . his baby crown is stronger than me? Is tougher than me?” ― Grady Hendrix, The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires
“Think of us what you will," she thought, "we made mistakes, and probably scarred our children for life, and we froze sandwiches, and forgot car pool, and got divorced. But when the time came, we went the distance.” ― Grady Hendrix, The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires
“The problem was the liars. They said she could do anything she set her mind to, they told her she should shoot for the moon because if she missed she’d be among the stars, they made movies tricking her into thinking she could achieve heroic things. All lies. Because she was born to answer phones in call centers, to carry bags to customers’ cars, to punch a clock, to measure her life in smoke breaks. To think otherwise was insane.” ― Grady Hendrix, Horrorstör
