Veritas Quotes

“Am I the only one who has wood over that little vixen?”
― Jeaniene Frost, This Side of the Grave

“Even if we both survive, I won't enforce my claim on you," I said desperately. "In fact, the first thing I'll do is drop you back at that bordello in Poland and order you a new carnival orgy, promise!" Then I threw up, spraying a stream of crimson all over him as I lost my fight against the nausea.

"See?" I managed when I finished puking. Vow sealed with a blood oath."

He looked down at himself in disgust. "This is everything I knew marriage would be.”

“I saw you then and felt nothing. Saw you months later during the ghoul uprising and felt nothing then, too ... until I watched you tear through a group of ghouls 'til they were no more than blood in the wind. Made me so hard, I almost tripped over my cock on my way to kill the ghoul in front of me."

"Romantic," I said in an acerbic tone, but a fluttering had started inside that I was having a difficult time controlling.

A quick grin. "Indeed. Felt nothing when you rudely interrupted my orgy, either, except rage when I recognized you as the Guardian who'd been at Katie's supposed execution. Then we fought ... and I felt the same thing I'd felt when I watched you tear through those ghouls years before."

"Something long and hard?" I supplied, adding, "I remember it hitting my foot when I was trying to hold you down."

"Not that, though that, too," he said with another unrepentant grin. Then it faded as he said, "I felt that you were mine.”

“Ian grinned before leaning down to lick the blood off my lip. "I know, it's a lot to take in. Never thought you'd be this happy, did you? Or this lucky. Blimey, go ahead and envy yourself. Countless other people will, I assure you.”

“It’s Ian’s Little Poppet now, remember?” I said snippily. His eyes were blazing with green. “Oh, it is indeed, and more than you realize.”

“Affronta la verità o la verità ti affronterà!”

“No importa lo que haga, cada persona en la Tierra está siempre representado el papel principal de la historia del mundo (...). Y normalmente no lo sabe.”
― Paulo Coelho, El Alquimista

“The essential thing is to be blind to our results. Our soul doesn’t need to go anywhere. It doesn’t need to advance. It only needs to be honest. That’s the holiness it deserves. And that’s how the right advances happen.”
― Karl Kristian Flores, The Goodbye Song

“In his final article Father Maximilian wrote: "No one in the world can alter truth. All that we can do is seek it, find it, and live it." Here he touched on a crucial point. Does not the conflict that lacerates the modern world reduce itself to a crisis of truth? All reformers would like to change the truth; but the question is simply to recognize it as it is, serve it, and love it. "No one in the world can alter truth..." These words sum up the testament of Father Maximilian. They ought to be written in flaming letters above the chapter of history which God is in the process of writing, straight and upright over the crooked lines of our treason. Is not Satan's name the Father of Lies?”
― Maria Winowska, The Death Camp Proved Him Real

“Andrei perched on the rooftop of the cinema and looked out at Westwood’s nightlife bustling before him. He was mounted on the single, cream, stoned gargoyle built above in the corner of the theatre. He and his gothic animal breathed under the cold moon. Yes. He always felt like the moon—generally unnoticed by the world, that never minds—and navigated richly through his life alone and uninterrupted, like a ghost. Truth is an unobvious color. Those who attempt truth will never make billboards or conversations but usually sift in the background in awkward veritas.”
― Karl Kristian Flores, A Happy Ghost
