“Royce looked back down at the stream below. "She doesn't even know me. What if she doesn't like me? Few people do." "She might not at first. Maribor knows I didn't. But you have a way of growing on a person." He smiled. "You know, like lichen or mold.”
“Royce nodded. “Invest in crossbows. Next time stay hidden and just put a couple bolts into each of your target’s chests. All this talking is just stupid.” “Royce!” Hadrian admonished. “What? You’re always saying I should be nicer to people. I’m trying to be helpful.”
“Royce turned to Hadrian. “It’s supposed to make them look tough, but all it really does is make it easy to identify them as thieves for the rest of their lives. Painting a red hand on everyone is pretty stupid when you think about it.” “That tattoo is supposed to be a hand?” Hadrian asked. “I thought it was a little red chicken. But now that you mention it, a hand does make more sense.” Royce looked back at Will and tilted his head to one side. “Does kinda look like a chicken.”

“Royse Bergon: "I've seen your integrity in action. It...widened my world. I'd been raised by my father, who is a prudent, cautious man, always looking for men's hidden, selfish motivations. No one can cheat him. But I've seen him cheat himself. If you understand what I mean."
Caz: "Yes."
R.B.: "It was very foolish of you to attack that vile Roknari galley-man."
Caz: "Yes."
R.B.: "And yet, I think, given the same circumstances you would do it again."
Caz: "Knowing what I know now...it would be harder. But I would hope... I would pray, Royse, that the gods would still lend me such foolishness in my need."
R.B: "What is this astonishing foolishness, that shines brighter than all my father's gold? Can you teach me to be such a fool, too, Caz?"
Caz: "Oh," "I'm sure of it.”

“Roz to Amelia (the house ghost): How considerate of you, after trying to kill me, to see that I don't catch a cold.”
“Roza, my self-control is ten times stronger than yours." I opened my eyes, shifting to look into his. I brushed his hair back and smiled, certain my heart would expand and expand until there was nothing left of me. "Oh yeah? That's not the impression I just got." "Wait until next time," he warned. "I'll do things that'll make you lose control within seconds.”
“Roza." His voice had that same wonderful lowness, the same accent . . . it was all just colder. "You forgot my first lesson: Don’t hesitate.”

“Rozealle
she is a storm; she is a river
untamed; untouched
she will engulf you; she will shatter you
hold her softly; caress her gently
she is fragile like a rose petal
she is tender like the touch me not leaf
she is the warm glow of the morning sun
she is the magic of a full moon night!”
“Rozmnażające się błyskawicznie owady wyjadły oczy, zostawiając puste, wpatrzone w przestrzeń oczodoły. Skóra i włosy utrzymywały się na czaszce, lecz po kilku dniach wyraźnie zaczęły się zsuwać. Pod koniec pierwszego tygodnia zwłoki zaczęły nabrzmiewać. W miarę jak bakterie wyjadały żołądek i jelita, wytwarzane przez nie gazy zaczęły wypełniać i wydymać brzuch niczym balon. Tymczasem skóra przybierała intensywny, czerwonawy kolor. Tkanka tłuszczowa pod skórą zaczęła się rozkładać, nadając zwłokom szklisty połysk, zupełnie jakby zostały oblane polewą i upieczone w piekarniku. Gdy skóra przybrała barwę karmelu, zaczęła pokazywać się na niej sieć fioletowo-szkarłatnych linii przypominająca satelitarną mapę rzek. W rzeczywistości był to układ krążenia; krew w żyłach i tętnicach zaczęła gnić, rozdymając je i nadając im ciemniejszą barwę, przez co wyglądały tak, jakby ktoś wymalował je na ciele flamastrem.”
“Rožico je zelo enostavno ločiti od plevela, mar ne? Zakaj je potem misli, ki nas šibijo, težje ločiti od teh, ki nas hrabrijo? Ker nas nihče nikoli ni naučil, kaj v svojem bistvu pomeni biti sam sebi najboljši prijatelj in s tem največja ljubezen svojega življenja.”

“Rs 6500 crore disclosed under compliance window of black money & foreign assets law. People fear the law that has now been created. Stringent provisions will not be diluted despite pressures.”
“RSL has more star-liners than any other company, and covers every commercial route in known space. Demeter is one of the biggest, carrying up to 4500 passengers and crew at any single point on its never-ending, circular cruise around the Terran Empire. And me? Where do I fit in? My name is Sean Lange, and you will probably have never heard of me. It’s sad somehow, I always wanted to leave some kind of a legacy in this life, and perhaps to be remembered. Instead, circumstances have arranged it so that this is probably the last time I will ever use that name.”

“RTE was set up by legislation as an instrument of public policy, and, as such is responsible to the government. The government have overall responsibility for its conduct, and especially the obligation to ensure that its programmes do not offend against the public interest or conflict with national policy as defined in legislation. To this extent the government rejected the view that RTE should be, either generally or in regard to its current affairs programmes, completely independent of government supervision.”
“Ruang di kolong langit itu,
kenangan yang aku tak inginkan lagi ia datang melintas sepi.
Tapi ketika pun kaki ini melangkah menemukannya, kenapa hati ini lantas tersenyum?”

“RUANG TEMPAT KEBENARAN TAK TERLIHAT
(ketika jiwa dicabut dari cahaya)
Ada bagian dari benak manusia
yang tidak pernah ingin ditemukan,
bagian yang bahkan malaikat pun enggan menyentuhnya,
karena di sana cahaya tidak pernah tercipta.
Tempat di mana Artaud pernah disiksa, saat kita dengar gema jeritannya:
"Aku bukan lagi manusia. Aku adalah serabut yang terbakar."
Di sanalah kita berada sekarang.
Ruang di mana mulut membuka
tetapi suara tidak lahir.
Ruang di mana pikiran menggulung dirinya
seperti tubuh binatang sekarat
di bawah cahaya remang lampu ruang isolasi.
Di titik itu, gelap bukan lagi warna
melainkan zat—
sesuatu yang melengket di kulit batin,
sesuatu yang menetes dari sela-sela saraf,
sesuatu yang merayap dan memeluk otak
seperti akar yang menemukan celah pada batu.
Gelap itu tidak bisa ditafsirkan
karena ia lebih tua dari bahasa,
lebih tua dari dosa,
lebih tua dari kesadaran manusia
yang mencoba mengatur dunia dengan sebuah kalimat.
Tapi, tidak ada kalimat di sini.
Hanya denyut.
Hanya retakan.
Hanya suara-suara yang tidak berbentuk kata,
hanya tarikan napas yang seperti serpihan kaca,
menusuk masuk, lambat, tak berkesudahan.
Kita sekarang berada di tempat
di mana logika kehilangan gravitasi;
di mana pemikiran melayang seperti jenazah
yang tidak sempat diberi upacara.
Dan di tengah kekacauan itu,
kegilaan muncul bukan sebagai hukuman,
melainkan pintu.
Pintu yang menolak ditolak.
Pintu yang menelan siapa pun yang berani mengintip.
Kegilaan bukan ketidaksadaran.
Ia adalah kesadaran intensif
yang terlalu terang untuk ditanggung,
terlalu jujur untuk dilihat,
terlalu dekat dengan suara asli semesta.
Suara yang menghancurkan segala lapisan penyangga
yang kita sebut “kewarasan”.
Di sini, manusia tidak lagi berpikir.
Manusia terbakar.
Manusia tidak lagi berdoa.
Manusia menggigil.
Manusia tidak lagi mencari makna.
Manusia menjerit tanpa suara
karena kotak suara bukan lagi bagian tubuh,
melainkan pecahan mimpi buruk
yang tak pernah bisa disatukan kembali.
Dalam ruang ini,
kau tidak bertanya siapa dirimu.
Kau bertanya apakah kau masih ada.
Dan jawabannya—
seperti bisikan dari balik retakan dinding batin—
“Kau ada hanya sejauh kesanggupanmu menahan kegelapan ini.
Bila kau menyerah, maka kau lenyap.
Bila kau bertahan, maka kau akan berubah.”
Kau bertanya pada gerbang kegilaan itu:
“Apa yang berdiri menunggu di balik punggungmu?”
Gerbang itu tidak menjawab.
Ia hanya membuka.
Dan dari dalamnya, keluar bukan monster,
bukan iblis,
bukan suara-suara asing—
melainkan dirimu sendiri,
versi yang tidak pernah disinari,
versi yang tidak pernah diberi nama,
versi yang selama ini menulis keberadaanmu:
pikiran yang mulai membusuk.
Versi yang tidak meminta pertolongan.
Karena ia tahu tidak ada pertolongan.
Kegilaan yang akan menelan tubuhmu bulat-bulat.

“Rubaiyat
Revină-n glasul meu persanul vers
Spre a ne aminti că timpul-i un divers
Mod de-a urzi avide visuri vane,
În taine risipite-n univers.
Din nou să spună că țărână-i focul,
Țărână-i trupul, și că asta-i jocul:
Viața mea și-a ta sunt râu ce curge
Necontenit și repede-n tot locul.
Și că impunătorul monument
Zidit cu trudă, din trufie, lent,
Un vânt fugar e numai, că-n lumina
Lui Dumnezeu un veac e un moment.
...
Te rog, persană lună, să revii,
Și voi, incerte-apusuri aurii.
Azi e ieri. Nu ește decât ceilalți.
Tărână-i chipul lor. Cu morții-învii.”

“Rubens came upon an old collection of photographs of President John Kennedy: the photos were in colour, there were at least fifty of them, and on all of them (all, without exception!) the president was laughing. Not smiling, laughing! His mouth was open, his teeth bared. There was nothing remarkable about it, that's what contemporary photos are like, but the fact that Kennedy laughed in all of them, that not a single one showed him with his lips closed, gave Rubens pause. A few days later he found himself in Florence. He stood in front of Michelangelo's David and tried to imagine that marble face laughing like Kennedy. David, that paradigm of male beauty, suddenly looked like an imbecile! Since then, he had often tried in his imagination to retouch figures in famous paintings to give them a laughing mouth; it was an interesting experiment: the grimace of laughter could ruin every painting! Imagine Mona Lisa as her barely perceptible smile turns into a laugh that reveals her teeth and gums!”
