cat.”

Eoin Colfer, The Time Paradox
“Dear
Child,
Sometimes
on your travel through hell, you meet people that think they are in heaven
because of their cleverness and ability to get away with things. Travel past
them because they don't understand who they have become and never will. These
type of people feel justified in revenge and will never learn mercy or
forgiveness because they live by comparison. They are the people that don't
care about anyone, other than who is making them feel confident. They don’t
understand that their deity is not rejoicing with them because of their
actions, rather he is trying to free them from their insecurities, by softening
their heart. They rather put out your light than find their own. They don't
have the ability to see beyond the false sense of happiness they get from destroying
others. You know what happiness is and it isn’t this. Don’t see their success
as their deliverance. It is a mask of vindication which has no audience, other
than their own kind. They have joined countless others that call themselves
“survivors”. They believe that they are entitled to win because life didn’t go
as planned for them. You are not like them. You were not meant to stay in hell
and follow their belief system. You were bound for greatness. You were born to
help them by leading. Rise up and be the light home. You were given the gift to
see the truth. They will have an army of people that are like them and you are
going to feel alone. However, your family in heaven stands beside you now. They
are your strength and as countless as the stars. It is time to let go!
Love,
Your
Guardian Angel”

“To
exact revenge for yourself or your friends is not only a right, it's an
absolute duty.”

Stieg Larsson
“Mind
my words, Cheshire, I will have you banished from this kingdom if you tempt
me."
"An
empty threat from an empty girl."
She
rounded on him, teeth flashing. "I am not empty. I am full to the brim
with murder and revenge. I am overflowing and I do not think you wish for me to
overflow on to you."
"There
was a time" – Cheshire yawned – "when you overflowed with whimsy and
icing sugar. I liked that Catherine better.”
―
Marissa Meyer, Heartless
“Day
after day, day after day,
We
stuck, nor breath nor motion;
As
idle as a painted ship
Upon
a painted ocean.”
―
Samuel Taylor Coleridge, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner
“But
men often mistake killing and revenge for justice. They seldom have the stomach
for justice.”
―
Robert Jordan
