To help out the new Storytelling team, and get everyone back into the fun and suspense of the game, I took the liberty to scour the forums for some recent and not so recent quotes that I enjoyed.
Comment on them, or add your own as you like.
Famous remarks are very seldom quoted correctly.
Simeon Strunsky (1879 - 1948), No Mean City (1944)
* * *
An apt observation from an immortal;
| Yazed ibn Maliki al-Jamil wrote: | | Yazed nodded, pondering Hakim's words. "Mortality touches everyone eventually, yes, though of course some parts of us continue on into eternity." |
The business of being Prince is pressing, but there still remain priorities;
| Roland de Foix wrote: | | He looks at them with a frown. "Their armored feet will scuff my floors, They will likely bump into artwork, and they will clutter this room with their presence. If they need to be escorted back to your manse, I am certain Mennipus will not mind waiting." |
A Gangrel with a sense of decorum? Someone check to see if hell hath frozen...
| Mennipus wrote: | | "You violated me with your magics? Be lucky I respect the Marquis enough not to violate his home and carve you here." |
Damn Ventrue pride...
| Joanetta deArabella wrote: | She leans down to them. "I will not abandon them even when one left without word. I will not hate one because he beleives in God differently than I do. I will not leave my duties to clan and to those who look to me for guidance. I simply can not."
She looks to the vendors. "And I gift back as I can in the ays I know for that which I take."
She then looked back to him. "It has always been my way." |
Raise your glass, and check your coin purse;
| Tavani wrote: | "Here's to stealing, cheating, and drinking..." She gazed across at the other woman, a smirk dancing across her lips as she proceeded with the toast.
"If you cheat, may you cheat death. If you steal, may you steal hearts. And if you drink -" She clinked glasses with the other woman.
"-May you drink with me!" |
Supernatural grace;
| Alima wrote: | | She twisted and turned, slow deliberate steps carrying her to the edge of the stage. Eyes met with Salome first, the moved to Brutarius, then to the Prince, each in turn offered a smile, but the smile she gave the prince was almost devilish as she finally broke the contact and did flip back towards the center of the stage, backwards feet over hands. Once again she was lost in her own little world, moving her body as if in offering to some unseen force. The music was faster paced than before, allowing her shorter movements, quicker turns until the last note found her laying on her back on the stage, back arched and knees bent, bare feet on the floor, head leaned back and eyes on the ones at the table. The curtain slowly fell, and Zahra moved to clear the table in front of the guests. It was obvious they were in for at least one more treat before the evening was over. |
Musing on the mob, and madness;
| Asad Hadi wrote: | | "The ones that destroyed the temple would not have done so if the righteousness of the act was not placed within there feeble minds. No, a mob like that does not gather and act coherently on their own, they were guided, persuaded to do such on the whim of the Imam whose flock seems to be like a disease and is spreading throughout the city. Dark days are ahead when the power to command through religion was flaunted as it was, I fear that was only the beginning. The Imam grows bold." |
Trapped in a boy's body, but his mind lives free;
| Mennipus wrote: | | "I don't believe we dispute the laws of Caine. My unrest comes at the forming government perceived by the citizens here. While I respect their right to live there lives, understand that I left the Empire, and all emporers behind. |
Shadowy omen;
| Lupe de la Téllez wrote: | | She replies softly, her voice toned simply. "His involvement with you and the fae is not my concern. But as we are speaking of him, know that he is precisely the type of Cainite of which we all have been speaking here this eve. Whatever use he's made of himself to you is rather incidental to the issue." |
A promise, and some promise;
| Storyteller wrote: | | Not to complain but wow all this stuff behind the scenes I had to read is enormous, I have a lot of it pieced together and am working it out so the chapter can be ended as cleanly as possible and start the new chapter. Things will pick up pace once I find the groove. |
