“I know there’s evil in the world, and there always has been. But you don’t need to believe in Satan or demons to explain it. Human beings are perfectly capable of evil all by themselves.”

“The heart makes its choices without weighing the consequences. It doesn't look ahead to the lonely nights that follow.” ― Tess Gerritsen, Keeping The Dead
“The dead do not hurt you; only the living do.” ― Tess Gerritsen, The Sinner
“Evil doesn't die. It never dies. It just takes on a new face, a new name. Just because we've been touched by it once, it doesn't mean we're immune to ever being hurt again. Lightning can strike twice.” ― Tess Gerritsen, The Surgeon
“Where we go depends on what we know, and what we know depends on where we go.” ― Tess Gerritsen, The Surgeon
“Everything's a gamble, love most of all.” ― Tess Gerritsen, The Sinner

“Even divorce, she thought, cannot erase all the bonds forged by years of marriage. Long after the papers are signed, decrees notarized, the ties still remain. And the most powerful tie of all is written in a child's flesh and blood.” ― Tess Gerritsen, Body Double
“God, it's like reality's completely shifted on me. I used to think I was standing on such solid ground. If I wanted something badly enough, I just worked like hell for it. Now I can't decide what to do, which move to make. All the things I counted on aren't there for me anymore.” ― Tess Gerritsen, Harvest
“There is honor between bitches” ― Tess Gerritsen, Last to Die
“The one man you most want to sleep with may be the worst choice of all.” ― Tess Gerritsen, Body Double

“With every year that I grow older, I also draw closer to (my loved ones) to the day when we will once again be together. So I march through the deepening shadows, serene and unafraid, because I know that at the end of my journey they will be waiting for me.” ― Tess Gerritsen, The Silent Girl
“The Christmas tree, twinkling with lights, had a mountain of gifts piled up beneath it, like offerings to the great god of excess.” ― Tess Gerritsen, The Sinner
