Brutally Honest Quotes

“Being the soothsayer of the tribe is a dirty job, but someone has to do it.”
― Anthon St. Maarten

“My past (and sometimes my present) struggles offer plenty of feelings to mine for my songs. At the same time, I don't want to dwell in sadness or anxiety for the sake of my music. What I've come to accept is that great art doesn't come from wallowing in the negativity nor from attaining some mythical tranquility. The best art, for me anyway, arises from the PURSUIT of happiness. It's a difficult balance between the sadness and anger of my past and the struggle to live a happier life.”
― Ronnie Radke, I Can Explain

“...the ravenous monsters men called reporters; sub-human vermin who feed off misery and created it wherever they went.”
― Christopher Nuttall, The Nelson Touch

“Feigned interest is worse than brutal honesty.”
― Stewart Stafford

“I hate quotes; the only quote I like is "if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain!".”
― Dolly Parton (No idea who she is)

“- I didn't seduce her! OK, I didn't know exactly what I was doing. It seemed like fun and then... well, THAT happened. - said Ronnie. - It wasn't intentional. I did it for shits and giggles, alright? We never had sex. She was mortified at the thought of losing her job, but I told her that I wouldn't tell anyone.
- Well... you just did. - said Tyler.
- You two aren't just "anyone". That's the difference. - said Ronnie and resumed his task... until his ears caught a disturbing row of cries for help.
- What kind of language is that? - Tyler asked.
- It's... Hindi. Urdu, to be specific. - Ronnie answered.
- How the fuck do you know? - Tyler asked.
- Just found it out. - answered Ronnie.
- Well, where does that lead us? - asked Tyler once again.
- Pakistan. - said Garret.
- We're not going there saving Muslims from the clutches of radical Islam and fighting for human rights, are we? - said Tyler.
- No, obviously. But if their lives are in danger, we'll help. Not because some non-governmental organisation is obsessed with political correctness and equal rights, but because they don't deserve to die just because some delusional maniac decided to play God with their fate. - said Ronnie.”
― Momchil Yoskov, The Immortal Trinity: Inheritance

“The bride's sleek dark hair was smoothed into an unusually restrained knot, but she'd stuck to her guns with the heavy black eyeliner. Her lacy black dress was a little funereal, but clearly a compromise between her own preference for Victoriana and the palace's idea of appropriate styling for a photo shoot that would make the history books. The groom was wearing a pink shirt, and his curls were fluffy.
It was like a grown-up Emily the Strange marrying Bertie Wooster.
The smiles were natural, the body language extremely affectionate, but their knuckles were white. Nerves or tension?
Sylvie studied the cover shot for a few more seconds, then scrolled down to the article. The journalist would have had a lot of the copy sitting ready to go. This had been on the rumor mill since their first joint public appearance. The union between the king's eldest granddaughter and the youngest son of a baronet, who, according to this tabloid, had inherited neither land nor brain cells from his parents.
The overgrown Goth princess and a stuttering social climber with all the poise and sophistication of a golden retriever.
Charming.”
― Lucy Parker, Battle Royal

“Maybe the lawyer could get your divorce dealt with in another county."
"A change of venue for a divorce? You watch too much television."
"And you have way too little faith in God."
I rolled my eyes. "That's a leap. How did we get all the way to my faith?"
"I'm not wrong. It's been more than a week since you received that email with that pitiful offer. Call your attorney and stop acting like you don't have any power."
Hope didn't give me a second to say a thing.
"Losing everything to him will only give you something else to mope about. You already have a long list.”
― Rhonda McKnight, Bitter and Sweet
