“Victims make excuses. Leaders deliver results.”
“Victims may be defensive, submissive, over-accommodating to others, passive-aggressive in conflict, dependent on others for self-worth, overly sensitive, even manipulative. They're often angry, resentful, and envious, feeling unworthy or ashamed about their circumstances. Have you ever felt or acted this way?”

“Victims of human rights abuses should not suffer in silence. Their voices deserve to be heard, recognized, accepted, and celebrated. They have the right to stand up for themselves and ensure that they have a better quality of life than what they have experienced. People who degrade those who have been oppressed are ignorant and foolish. They fail to consider that evil that is dismissed is given the opportunity to develop into a very serious problem that can affect the lives of many people, including their own life.”

“Victims of rape and sexual assault are mollycoddled by the press. We are perpetually infantilised by commentators, journalists, and the public alike. People who haven’t experienced rape (or sexual abuse of any kind) find the idea of survivors having great sex lives and moving forward triumphantly – worrying. It doesn’t quite fit with their perception of us and how they understand victims of sexual violence. In most cases, people prefer to stereotype survivors – viewing them as downtrodden victims but often this doesn’t align with the actual reality.”
“Victims of the violence are black and white, rich and poor, young and old, famous and unknown. They are most important of all, human beings whom other human beings loved and needed.”

And then you bit into them, and learned once again that Cut-me-own-Throat Dibbler could find a use for bits of an animal that the animal didn't know it had got. Dibbler had worked out that with enough fried onions and mustard people would eat anything.”

“Victor Faust did much more than help me escape a life of abuse and servitude. He changed me. He changed the landscape of my dreams, the dreams I had every day about living ordinarily and free and on my own. He changed the colors on the palette from primary to rainbow—as dark as the colors of that rainbow may be.”

“Victor Hernandez, like an orchestral conductor directing his troops...”
“Victor Hugo continues to be popular today not because of his multivolume works, which people may never have time or patience to read, but rather because of his unique experiences, his political activities and his immense influence on French history.”
“Victor Hugo makes one of his heroines--an actress--say, "My art endows me with a searching eye, a knowledge of the soul and the soul's workings; and, spite of all your skill, I read to the depths." This is a truth more or less powerful, as one is more or less gifted by the good God.”
“Victor Hugo n’est pas uniquement reconnu pour ses œuvres, cet intellectuel engagé et influent est reconnu surtout pour sa carrière politique très importante et son influence énorme sur l’histoire de la France.”
“Victor Hugo said you can stop an invasion of armies, but you can never stop an invasion of ideas. There's nothing more powerful than an idea whose time has come. It wasn't until 1920, four years after my mother was born - and she's still alive and healthy - that women were given the right to vote. Now it's hard even to imagine that for the greater part of the history of our country fifty percent of the population was not allowed to vote.”
“Victor Hugo was a madman who thought he was Victor Hugo”
“Victor Hugo, şöyle der: Çimenler uzamalı, çocuklar ölmeli mutlaka. Ben diyorum ki, sanatın acımasız yasası uyarınca, insanların, kendimizin, ıstırabın her türünü tattıktan sonra ölmesi gerekir ki, unutuşun değil, ebedî hayatın çimleri, verimli eserlerin gür otları uzasın, gelecek nesiller neşe içinde, altında uyuyanlara aldırmadan gelip "kırda yemek"lerini yiyebilsinler.”

“Victor keek naar buiten. Een paar sterren maar hadden de kracht om zich aan de hemel af te tekenen.
Hij herinnerde zich het beeld dat hij in zijn kinderjaren als een onomstotelijke waarheid met zich meegedragen had. Dat van een zwart uitspansel dat met een speld doorprikt was, en waarachter licht brandde; de plek waar de doden zich ophielden, die hem door gaatjes die hij niet kon zien, bespiedden.”

'A very small Rottweiler,' said Zed, still not convinced.”

“Victor Saville was bad news because he wanted money just to do one big picture.”
“Victor Serge died in exile and obscurity, apparently no more than a splinter of a splinter in the Marxist movement. But with the passage of the years, he looms up as one of the great moral figures of our time, an artist of such integrity and a revolutionary of such purity as to overshadow those who achieved fame and power. His failure was his success. I know of no participant in Russia's revolution and Spain's agonies who more deserves the attention of our concerned youth.”
“Victor,” she gasped... “can’t you see I’ve always been yours?”
He almost believed her. Almost.”

“Victor smiled through the pain and the blood. "Of course you have. I used to think Belikov was the savage one, but it's really you, isn't it? You're the animal with no control, no higher reasoning except to fight and kill.”

“Victor spread his hands and beamed. “There’s a truckload of supplies sitting on a dock in Madera. We got food, medicine, and machines ready to roll. All we need is a pigheaded truck driver with giant cojones and no brains to ram the stuff past the blockade and save the day.” The pilot leaned back and put his hands behind his head. “Naturally, I thought of Abel Yeager.”

“Victor, the Chinese analyst, absolutely dismantles the Indian narrative—calling out India bluntly. Statements like “Pakistan and China are one, and all of China’s technological advancements are at Pakistan’s disposal” and “Read history” hit hard. Honestly, with Indian media handing us such strong diplomatic wins, who even needs our diplomats? They're doing Pakistan's foreign policy job better than anyone.”
“Victor tipped his head. “Tell me, is it blasphemy, or simply arrogance, taking credit for God’s work?”
“Victor Vigny: It is like the old fairy tale. The boy saves the princess; they fall in love. He invents a flying machine - along with his dashing teacher, of course. They get married and name thier firstborn after the aforementioned dashing teacher. Conor: I don't recall that fairy tale from the nursery. Victor Vigny: Trust me, It's a classic.”
“Victor Volcano (Sonnet for Haters)
Haters keep yelling slurs,
Then wonder and despond,
Why do I always keep quite,
Why do I never respond!
I am not a slave you bought,
At an arabian slave market.
I am not your domestic pet,
To exist for your amazement.
I ain't no circus or zoo animal,
To sit 'n bear slurs, you fool.
My name is Victor Volcano,
You're safe, so long as I'm cool.
That's why I keep quite 'n walk away.
If I ever retaliate, haters will fade away.”

“Victor wasn’t sure how he felt about EOs. Up until he
fetched Sydney from the side of the road, he’d only ever known one EO, himself excluded, and that was Eli. If he’d had to judge based on the two of them, then ExtraOrdinaries were damaged, to say the least. But these words people threw around—humans, monsters, heroes, villains—to Victor it was all just a matter of semantics. Someone could call themselves a
hero and still walk around killing dozens. Someone else could be labeled a villain for trying to stop them. Plenty of humans were monstrous, and plenty of monsters knew how to play at being human. The difference between Victor and Eli, he suspected, wasn’t their opinion on EOs. It was their reaction to
them. Eli seemed intent to slaughter them, but Victor didn’t see why a useful skill should be destroyed, just because of its origin. EOs were weapons, yes, but weapons with minds and wills and bodies, things that could be bent and twisted and broken and used.”
“Victor Wooten is the Carlos Castaneda of music”
“Victor Young had been hired to write the score for the dances of The Ten Commandments but he became very ill. You were then hired to write the score. But at the same time you'd written The Man with the Golden Arm score.”
“Victor: What does it feel like to be in love? Creature: It feels like everything is boiling over and spilling out of me; it feels like my lungs are on fire, and my heart is a hammer, and I feel like I can do anything...I feel like I can do anything in the world.”
“Victor: You guys have some kind of rallying cry? You know, "Avengers assemble?" "It's clobberin' time?" "Hulk smash?" Nico: "Try not to die.”
“Victoria Beckham is so nasty, why doesn't she just go home?! Her dresses are beautiful, but I don't care what she does. She's mean to all the people around her. She's too short to be a diva. We all use the same hairdressers, make-up artists, limo-drivers and greeters at the airports in LA and nobody has anything nice to say about her. They say she's rude. She can't always just be having a bad day.”
“Victoria Beckham looks like she has a dump once every four years. That's probably how David knows that there's a World Cup coming up.”
“Victoria came to understand that her depression was a distinct malady that came and went, but which affected her particularly during and after pregnancy. ... Yet Albert made sure the babies kept coming. "It is too hard and dreadful what we have to go through," Victoria complained. Men ought to "do every thing to make up, for what after all they alone are the cause of.”

“Victoria Devane," she said aloud. "I'm Victoria."
Her lips moved in countless repetitions of the sounds... her name, her real name. It was like a key that unlocked all the sealed places in her mind. Images of her past paraded before her... the country cottage where she spent her days occupied with books and visiting schoolchildren. Her friends from the village... a long-ago trip to the seashore... her father's funeral.
Closing her eyes tightly, she pictured the patient, kind face of her father. He had been a scholarly man, a philosopher, preferring his books to the harsh reality of the world outside. Victoria had adored him, and had spent hours and days reading alongside him.
She had never loved any man in the romantic sense, had never wanted to. Since her mother had left Forest Crest, Victoria had cared only for her father and seldom-seen sister... There had been no room for anyone else. Love was too dangerous; it was much better to stay alone and safe. In the quiet haven of the village, she had few responsibilities except to look after herself. She would never have ventured away had her irresponsible sister not landed herself in more trouble than she could manage.”

“Victoria Green is the ocean, wide and vast and deep, so much of her will never be known, but I’ll never stop searching. When I’m with her I have no sense of direction, and I’m not certain whether she’s the one holding my head above water or the anchor tied to my feet.”
