Celestine Quotes

“Courage does not take over, it fights and struggles through every word you say and every step you take. It's a battle or a dance as to whether you let it pervade. It takes courage to overcome, but it takes extreme fear to be courageous.”
― Cecelia Ahern, Flawed

“And worst of all was the false woman – Greyfax refused to call her a saint – her form encased in golden armour and razored wings flaring behind her. Light shining on her resolute features, both fine and strong with a blush of blood on the cheek, her lips wine purple.

A mesmerising face, Greyfax admitted, which was why the idolatrous soldiers had fallen for her.

But worst of all was that expression of serenity. As if this girl knew the galaxy and what it had to offer, as though a suit of power armour, an old sword, a pair of wings and a few mad visions showed her the true nature of the cosmos.

Even as she lay defeated and bleeding on the stones, her ceramite bodice carved open by Abaddon’s blade, her sword upraised in both stoic defiance and the acceptance of martyrdom, she remained serene. Even as the Talon of Horus pinned her shoulder to the rock, ready for the execution stroke of the Despoiler’s blade.

Never.

Greyfax would not let her have that death. This so-called saint would not be gaining immortality through the quills of hagiographers and chapel-cults. No. Greyfax would question her, get her on the stand, and expose her for what she was.

This heretic fraud was hers to break.”
