"Service is something that we do for the sake of something else outside of ourselves. If a creature does not serve then it may as well not have existed at all."

"Kvornan Tricou is not some dark and spectral omega. He's nothing but a sniveling brat who has been confined to the dinner table until he eats his vegetables. Now, I know what you might be thinking, 'But Orion, he doesn't want to serve! He wants his own free will! He chose vampirism and suicide and murder and--' Blah, blah, blah who gives a shit? He's Proximus Deus and if he wants a choice, it's because they're prepared to give him one. Either he serves in heaven or he reigns elsewhere."

Lawrence Caliente glanced towards the hookah bar squatting on the downtown skyline. Its dingy cement facade was crowned with a neon sign that flashed the words Mermaid's Cove letter by letter. The electric hum of the lights kept time with Laurie's heartbeat and for a moment, he imagined that the sign was mocking him. M is for the moments of his life he will never get back. E is for Enoch who dragged him out to this shit hole. R is for all the many reasons that Laurie should not be in a hookah bar...

Kvornan did not self-examine very often these days. The panoptic reality of Alexei Garrison left little room for self-examination.

"You know what I think? I think that Troy Tellerman-Caliente has never regretted anything a day in his life. I think that a big part of the reason why we keep ending up here is because you want to know just what it feels like to royally fuck something up, to feel that much more human."
