Revenge
Quotes - We want revenge
“There
is nothing wrong with revenge. The wrong has already been done, or there would
be no need to even the score.”

Ashly Lorenzana
“What's
the big idea?" Sabrina demanded.
"I
declared war on you, remember?" Puck said.
Sabrina
rolled her eyes. "Is this another one of your stupid pranks?"
Puck
sniffed. "You have contaminated me with your puberty virus and you called
my villainy into question."
"First
of all, puberty isn't a virus," Sabrina said as she fought a tug of was
with the Pegasus for her now rather damp pillow."Secondly, I'm sorry if I
gave you the itty-bitty baby and boo-boo face. Do you wasnt me to give you a
hug?"
Puck
curled his lip in anger.
"Oh,
now is the baby cranky. Perhaps we should put him down for a nap?"
"We'll
see who's laughing soon enough," Puck said. "You see these flying
horses?"
"Duh!"
"These
horses have a very special diet," Puck said. "For the last two days
they have eaten nothing but chili dogs and prune juice."
Sabrina
heard a rumble coming from Puck's horse. It was so loud it drowned out the
sound of its beating wings. Sabrina couldn't tell if the churn of the sound was
worse for the Pegasus but it whined a bit and its eyes bulged nervously.
Puck
continued. "Now, chili dogs and prune juice are a hard combination on a
person's belly. It can keep a human being on the toilet for a week. Imagine
what would happen if I fed chili dogs and prune juice to an
eight-hundred-and-fifty-pound flying horse. Oh, wait a minute! You don't have
to imagine it. I did feed chili dogs and prune juice to an
eight-hundred-and-fifty-pound flying horse. In fact, I fed them all the same
thing!”

“For
two years the battles raged across the lands, one side fighting for conquest,
the other for freedom. Othium-powered weapons wreaked havoc on defending
armies. The red fire was hard to resist, but the white light was stronger.
Gradually the tide turned and the freedom fighters regained control of their
lands and their cities. The stage was set for the final battle.
The
opposing forces met outside the Ackar city of Erbea in 1302 and the forces of
good won the day. The alchemist escaped and was about to take his revenge at a
wedding ceremony when he was bound by the white light. All that remained was
his heart, or maybe his soul, encapsulated in a piece of red rock.
Dewar
the Third succeeded his father and the new king promised a time of peace and
prosperity. History would call him the Peacemaker.
Now,
two hundred years on, a new Emperor seeks to rule the world, while an
illegitimate son sets out on a path towards revenge and a thief begins to learn
his trade. It is time for the alchemist to return.”

“We
learn our lessons; we get hurt; we want revenge. Then we realize that actually,
happiness and forgiving people is the best revenge.”

Madonna
“She
has her helmet, shield and sword. Does she finish him or take pity on the
gutless thing before her?
Does
she set fire and smoke him out, forcing him to fight, or does she let him live
with himself and take satisfaction from knowing that he has never been in a
real fight in his life and that one day he will have to face his demons in
person, along with the consequences, and that both can be far more painful than
anything she could ever do to him.”

Donna Lynn Hope
“Nature
can be cruel. Predators are everywhere. Those who don't need to be protected
from outside forces often need to be protected from themselves. In society,
women are referred to as "the fairer sex". But in the wild, the
female species can be far more ferocious than their male counterparts.
Defending the nest is both our oldest and strongest instinct. And sometimes, it
can also be the most gratifying.”

Emily Thorne
“No
hard feelings about that time in the Crucible when you mixed my salts and I was
nearly blind for a day. No. No, really, drink up!”

Patrick Rothfuss, The Name of the Wind
“And
I looked out at the dog, and McCoy trying to cradle her in one arm and cut the
rope with t’other, and I said, ‘What goes around, comes around, daddy.’
“And
he just smiled. A wicked smile. And he nodded. And he kept on driving, turning
left onto the road to the church.” ”

“This
letter is written on the skin of one of the water sprites who drowned your
parents.'
'Ick!'
I cried, and dropped the letter on the kitchen table.”

Charlaine Harris, Dead in the Family
“The
only reason I haven't shot you yet is because he's the one who should get to do
it," I say. "Stay away from him or I'll decide I no longer care.”

Veronica Roth, Divergent
“To
punish someone for your own mistakes or for the consequences of your own
actions, to harm another by shifting blame that is rightly yours; this is a
wretched and cowardly sin.”

“I
will write your name in the ruin of them. I will paint you across history in
the color of their blood.”

“No.
I didn't say you could talk yet.You made me feel like crap. I didn't fit into
your little definition of perfect and you never let me forget it. I can assure
you there is nothing. Nothing that would ever make you worth the air you
breathe.”

Michael J. Sullivan, Heir of Novron
“How
very kind of her, ' I said. 'I must remember to send her a card.'
I'd
send her a card alright. It would be the Ace of Spades, and I'd mail it
anonymously from somewhere other than Bishop's Lacey.”
