Gervais Thibault
“I have a horror of rest; possessions encourage one to indulge in it, and there's nothing like security for making one fall asleep; I like life well enough to live it awake, and so, in the very midst of my riches, I maintain the sensation of a state of precariousness, by which means I aggravate, or at any rate intensify, my life. I will not say I like danger, but I like life to be hazardous, and I want it to demand at every moment the whole of my courage, my happiness, my health...” ― André Gide, The Immoralist
"Bored now" ― Willow Rosenburg, Buffy The Vampire Slayer

Quotes By
- "We should really name them. Bodies is so impersonal."
- "Our namesakes are known to appear in the dreams of lustful mortals. Check. They seduce mortals. Check. Mortals who cavort with them often end up with deterioration of health. Check. The entire mythology seems to be formed around our kind. We are creatures of our vices, driven to acts of gluttony, seeking to fulfil our needs to overflowing, breaking the barriers of our capacities. Acts of greed, seeking more and more, even when it isn't good for us. Acts of envy, craving what others have. Acts of lust, craving each other's bodies and intimicies. We are creatures driven to passion, to sensation."
Quotes About

He is impressive, and intimidating in a way. But that is something that to be admired in a kindred of esteem." - Holly Grant
- "...you know who? Voldemort or my grandsire?" Rasmus Laursen
- "Handsome, intelligent, and cunning. You do not want to come to the attention of the Lord Priscus Harpy." - Isobel Bathory
