“V-as povesti despre penisul meu, dar ar fi o poveste lunga.”

“V’erano solitudini cercate, volute con fermezza e mai represse. Sono quelle che abitano le disperazioni dell’anima, di quell’entità che vaga alla ricerca di luce con l’unico obiettivo di divorarla.”
“V frowned. There was only a hissing sound coming from the voice mail. But then a clatter had him yanking the phone away from his ear.
Now Butch's voice, hard, loud: "Dematerialize. Dematerialize now."
A scared male: "But-but-"
"Now! For fuck's sake, get your ass out of here..." Sounds of muffled flapping.
"Why are you doing this? You're just a human-"
"I am so sick of hearing that. Leave!"
There was a metallic shifting, a gun being reloaded.
Butch's voice: "Oh,shit..."
Then all hell broke loose. Gunshots, grunts, thuds.
V leaped up from his desk so fast he knocked his chair over.”
“V grabbed him by the lapels and yanked him up against his body. The brother was trembling from head to foot, his eyes glowing like crystals in the night. "You are not my enemy."
Instantly pissed off, Butch gripped V's shoulders, bunching up the leather jacket in his fists. "How do we know for sure."
V bared his fangs and hissed, his black eyebrows cranking down hard. Butch gave the aggression right back, hoping, praying, ready for them to start clocking each other. He was jonesing to hit and get hit back; he wanted blood all over the both of them.
For long moments, they stayed locked together, muscles straining, sweat blooming, right on the edge.
Then Vishous's voice came out into space between their faces, the cracked tone riding a panting, desperate breath and getting bucked off. "You are my only friend. Never my enemy."
No telling who embraced who first, but the urge to beat the living shit out of the other guy bled from their bodies, leaving only the bond between them. They wound up tight together and stood for a time in the cold wind. When they stepped back, it was awkwardly and with embarrassment.”

“V’ha detto che i doveri annessi al ministero fossero liberi da ogni ostacolo, immuni da ogni pericolo? O v’ha detto forse che dove cominciasse il pericolo, ivi cesserebbe il dovere? O non v’ha espressamente detto il contrario?”

“V had a passing thought that she used the word "anyway" like an eraser on a crowded chalkboard. She said it whenever she needed to clear off the things she'd just shared to make room for more.”

“V has finally learned that sitting calm within herself and waiting is often the best choice. And even when it's not, those around you become uncomfortable because they think you are wise.”

“V jerked back to the present. And for some reason didn't lie. "I'm thinking about my tattoos." "When did you get them?" "Almost three centuries ago." She whistled. "God, you live that long?" "Longer. Assuming I don't get cracked dead in a fight and you fool humans don't blow up the planet, I'll be breathing for another seven hundred years.”
“V.. kenangan akan tentangmu ini... Adalah kesedihan, yang tak akan mungkin terhapus, hanya dengan bermain hujan.”
“V nevědomí ženy lze tedy očekávat podstatně jiné aspekty, než jaké nacházíme u muže. Mám-li nyní říci jedním slovem, kde jev tomto ohledu rozdíl mezi mužem a ženou, čím je animus charakteristický oproti anime, mohu říci jen: jako anima vyvolává nálady, tak animus vyvolává mínění, a tak jako nálady u muže vystupují z temného pozadí, tak mínění u ženy spočívá na stejně nevědomých, apriorních předpokladech.”

“V. Night Song At Amafi
I asked the heaven of stars
What I should give my love–
It answered me with silence,
Silence above.
I asked the darkened sea
Down where the fishers go–
It answered me with silence,
Silence below.
Oh, I could give him weeping,
Or I could give him song–
But how can I give silence
My whole life long?”

“V
Porque a consciência, razão me chamou,
Mostrando-me o caminho do seu querer…
Porque do Eterno Sono ele despertou
E sua alma, do alto…me veio dizer:
Começa por onde o antigo acabou…
E dá às novas gerações a conhecer
A epopeia deste Povo Glorioso…
Por mim, a ti, também farão famoso!”

“V rolled the Aquafina bottle between his palms. "How long have you wanted to ask me the question? About the gay thing." "For a while." "Afraid of what I'd say?" "Nope, because it doesn't matter to me one way or the other. I'm tight with you whether you like males or females or both." V looked into his best friend's eyes and realized… yeah, Butch wasn't going to judge him. They were cool no matter what. With a curse, V rubbed the center of his chest and blinked. He never cried but he felt as if he could at this moment.”
“V.S. Pritchett's definition of a short story is 'something glimpsed from the corner of the eye, in passing.' Notice the 'glimpse' part of this. First the glimpse. Then the glimpse gives life, turned into something that illuminates the moment and may, if we're lucky -- that word again -- have even further ranging consequences and meaning. The short story writer's task is to invest the glimpse with all that is in his power. He'll bring his intelligence and literary skill to bear (his talent), his sense of proportion and sense of the fitness of things: of how things out there really are and how he sees those things -- like no one else sees them. And this is done through the use of clear and specific language, language used so as to bring to life the details that will light up the story for the reader. For the details to be concrete and convey meaning, the language must be accurate and precisely given. The words can be so precise they may even sound flat, but they can still carry; if used right they can hit all the notes.”

“V’s reference to his age, specifically the difference between them, only pissed Zane off more. He hated that she used that as an excuse. She’d tried it one other time, and if he remembered correctly, she’d been sprawled out beneath him in ten seconds flat, begging him to let her come.”

“V shook his head. “Remember what you saw in that clearing, cop? How’d you like that anywhere near a female you loved?” Butch put down the Bud without drinking from it. His eyes traveled over Rhage’s body. “We’re going to need a shitload of steel,” the human muttered.”

“V smiled, his eyes a little shiny as if he too were choked up. "Don't worry, I'm covered. So, I guess you're back, true?"
"And ready to rock and roll."
"Really."
"For sure. I'm thinking about a future in contracting. Wanted to see how this bathroom was put together. Excellent tile work. You should check it."
"How about I carry you back to bed?"
"I want to look at the sink pipes next."
Respect and affection clearly drove V's cool smirk. "At least let me help you up."
"Nah, I can do it." With a groan, Butch gave the vertical move a shot, but then eased back down onto the tile. Turned out his head was a little overwhelming. But if they left him here long enough-a week, maybe ten days?
"Come on, cop. Cry uncle here and let me help."
Butch was suddenly too tired to front. As he went totally limp, he was aware of Marissa staring at him and thought, man, could he look any weaker? Shit, the only saving grace was there wasn't a cold breeze on his butt.
Which suggested the hospital gown had stayed closed. Thank you, God.”

“V tired to imagine giving up his proclivities. "My monster needs to get out. Especially now.”
“v tomto zmysle práve tak ako "umenie pre umenie" neuznáva prosto a jednoducho svet mravnosti a hodnoty ľudského života a to, že umelec je ČLOVEK, tak ani heslo "umenie pre ľudí" neuznáva prosto a jednoducho svet umenia samotného a hodnoty tvorivého intelektu a to, že umelec je UMELCOM.”

“V zimě u nás neumíralo tolik lidí, věděli, že je to problematické, že by možná bylo lepší počkat si na jaro, zem nebude tak zmrzlá a rodině to nezkříží plány s Vánocemi anebo masopustem. Jestli umřít, tak jedině během půstu. Bylo to i ekonomické, nemusel se chystat velký kar.”

“V'è, in noi Orientali, un'inclinazione ad accettare i limiti, e le circostanze, della vita. Ci rassegniamo all'ombra così com'è, e senza repulsione. La luce è fievole? Lasciamo che le tenebre ci inghiottano, e scopriamo loro una beltà.”
“V'lane: Are you busy tomorrow MacKayla ? Barrons: She's working on old texts with me. V'lane: Ah. Old texts. A banner day at the bookstore. Barrons: We're translating Kama Sutra...with interactive aids.”
“V-Day...if you need this one day in a year to show everyone else you truly care for "your loved one" I think it's quite stupid. I hate this commercialism. It's all artificial, and has nothing to do with real love.”

“V-J Day, or Victory in Japan Day, marks the date of the Japanese surrender that ended fighting in the Pacific.”
“V-necks are great because you can get a little fat and you still look kind of good - and I like to get fat sometimes, so it's nice. I like to fluctuate between the world of skinny and fat, so V-necks suit me well.”
“V?" "What?" "I will die rather than hurt you." ~Vutch moments~”
“V?" Butch said. "Don't leave, okay?" "Never." V brushed Butch's hair back with a gesture so tender it was out of place coming from a male.”
“Va a sonar muy cliché o muy bobo, pero las cosas no suceden sólo porque sí, o tal vez sí lo hacen, y nosotros sólo le damos ese sentido al decir esa frase tonta que usamos para justificar lo que nos sucede, pero no sé. Tal vez ésa sí sea una de las pocas cosas que pasaron por algo y no sólo porque sí.
Pero cuando unos hombres abrieron mi puerta y me jalaron mientras yo comenzaba a gritar, supe que nada podía mejorar y en ningún momento se me cruzó por la mente ese: Tal vez esto está pasando por algo.”

“Va mirar cap endavant, i observant la magnificència del bosc, va abraçar l'aire amb els braços i va acaronar la pluja amb les mans. Per fi era lliure, de cos i ànima, una llibertat única, inigualable; una llibertat que, no es deixaria arravatar.”

“Va ser llavors que em vaig fixar en un blau que tenia just per sota del genoll. Ja l’havia vist abans, però en aquell moment el seu to porpra, que en una de les vores virava cap al verd grogós, va atreure els meus ulls, com si aquesta petita ferida fos realment el tema del quadre. M’hi vaig atansar, vaig posar un dit a la tela i vaig resseguir el contorn del blau. Aquest gest em va excitar. Em vaig girar per mirar l’Erica. Era un dia càlid de setembre, i ella tenia els braços descoberts. Em vaig inclinar i li vaig besar les pigues de les espatlles, i en acabat li vaig enretirar els cabells que li cobrien el coll i vaig besar la pell suau de sota. Em vaig agenollar davant seu, li vaig apujar la roba de la faldilla, li vaig passar els dits per les cuixes, i llavors vaig fer servir la llengua.”

“Va-t’en, mon amour, a-t-il dit. Laisse-moi. Moi, je ne peux pas partir, mais toi oui, tu peux échapper à tout ça, à moi, à eux. Il n’y a rien, Rosario, ce sont des champs de mort et de folie. Je suis la porte qui mène à ce néant et que je ne peux pas fermer. Il n’y a rien à chercher, rien à comprendre.
- Je ne te quitterai jamais. Demande-moi autre chose.
- Si tu ne pars pas, alors ne me laisse pas seul. Même si tu meurs, Hante moi comme un fantôme, haunt me.
- Evidemment. Je ferais n’importe quoi pour toi.”

“Vaan ilman pienintäkään harjoitusta

“Vacant heart, and hand, and eye, Easy live and quiet die.”
“Vacant yet hopeful
The windows are closed,
The room is lit with sunshine and many wishes proposed and unproposed,
There in the vacant room where no one lives,
You can feel something that mind denies and only the heart believes,
Something unseen that sweeps across the walls,
Walls from where the sunlight night’s shadows uninstalls,
Shadows that do not leave the room and occupy dark corners of this vacant room,
Almost like the dark irony of the shadow cast by the most beautiful flower in bloom,
And as the sun is forced to retire by the advancing darkness,
The shadows rise and hang on the walls with a defiant steadiness,
Then they begin to crawl to and fro, here and there, until they are everywhere,
And the vacant room is now occupied by its resident darkness that springs from somewhere,
Maybe it is just an imagination, because nights are dark and days are either bright or sunny,
There could be reasons many, and explanations as many,
So, I decide to occupy the vacant room and challenge its shadows,
There in the shadows, I found trapped moments of time, that the room from somewhere borrows,
From past, from moments that long ago ceased to exist,
So, I opened the windows and the shadows fell, and they no longer did about anything insist,
Because the touch of sunlight had allowed the hope to enter,
And now, the once dark room, the room of sorrows, is the hope’s main center,
Where I often enter to think of her, and my past,
And now instead of dark shadows, her beautiful reflection on all walls I have cast,
So, if you happen to visit the room, and you see her staring at you from every wall,
It is a fused reflection of our love, all our feelings; and an open display of our romantic ball.”

“Vacation cruises are advertised as luxurious journeys to exotic places, but a chief pleasure is the reading of books ... . On steamer chairs topside or poolside, in the lounges, everywhere you see men and women with their noses in books, devouring them for hours.”
“Vacation time is the best time to do solitude because you could just take two weeks of it or one week of it and just isolate yourself. And when you isolate yourself, you can just begin to convert that time of vacation into any product you want.”
Source: How To Become Great Through Time Conversion: Are you wasting time, spending time or investing time?
“Vacation time offers the unique opportunity to pause before the thought-provoking spectacles of nature, a wonderful "book" within reach of everyone, adults and children. In contact with nature, a person rediscovers his correct dimension, rediscovers himself as a creature, small but at the same time unique, with a "capacity for God" because interiorly he is open to the Infinite.”
“Vacation: a period of travel and relaxation when you take twice the clothes and half the money you need.”
“Vacation: Two weeks on the sunny sands - and the rest of the year on the financial rocks.”
“Vacation: When you spend thousands of dollars to see what rain looks like in different parts of the world.”
“Vacations are designed to refresh the outlook of everyone. No matter how tired they may be when they return to work, vacationers have been refreshed emotionally and intellectually. Their effectiveness in their job has probably improved, and they are, generally speaking, better employees for the time off.”
“Vacations for wage earners have proved both popular with workers and profitable for employers. Unfortunately, the majority of large employers have not yet followed the example set by a number of progressive corporations. I don't know of a single company that has abandoned vacations for wage earners after having tried the experiment. But I do know many that are delighted with the fruits they have gathered. Under some of the plans vacations with pay must be earned by good behavior, punctuality, etc.... The best results have come where the treatment has been regarded as most liberal.”
“Vacations may end, but the transformation they spark travels with you forever.”
