Royal Blood Quotes

“I'm not through with you yet. Are you prepared to accept your punishment?"
I nodded reluctantly. I wasn't sure what a vampire's punishment might be. But I was ready to find out.
"I sentence you to a thousand kisses," he said.
"Can I begin now?”
― Ellen Schreiber, Royal Blood

“I think I might have to place you under arrest for trespassing.
But I always go easy on pretty girls who confess.”
― Ellen Schreiber, Royal Blood

“You think because you've got that good royal blood in you, you're better than us,' says the ogre, pressing one long fingernail against the prince's shoulder. 'Maybe you are. Only way to be sure is to have a taste.'

There's a drunken wobble to Oak's movements as he pushes off the ogre's hand and obvious contempt in his voice. 'The difference in flavour would be too subtle for your palate.”

“Monarchy Sonnet

Bloodline doesn't determine destiny,
Only determination can do that.
Biology doesn't see royalty,
Only bugs without backbone do that.
They say above the law is nobody,
Yet the royalty makes their own law.
If this is what civilization is about,
It's much better to be an outlaw.
The very existence of monarchy,
Is a sign of a medieval society.
We deny visa to hopes and ambition,
Yet kings and queens receive undeniable loyalty.
So I address the monarchs of planet earth,
Grow up and give your character a real birth.”

“Moronation Street (Sonnet 1013)

Nationalism is modern cannibalism,
As such nationalism is terrorism.
Royalty is an act of crime,
Obsessive Bloodline Disorder is clinical barbarism.
Character and excellence are the measure of life,
Not some cavemen constructs of blood and borders.
When the I disappears and the world appears,
That's when the animal disappears and the human appears.
Fundamentalism is the antithesis of religion,
For religion oughta bring inclusion not division.
Nationalism is the desecration of a nation's humane identity,
Each nation's security is predicated on collective ascension.
Enough with the coronation of morons -
enough with moronation!
Beyond blood and border await the streets of civilization.”
― Abhijit Naskar, The Centurion Sermon: Mental Por El Mundo
