“Wrath to Butch : I always knew you were a royal; just didn’t think it went past the pain-in-the-ass part is all.”
Source: Lover Revealed
“Wrath to come implies both the futurity and perpetuity of this wrath.... Yea, it is not only certainly future, but when it comes it will be abiding wrath, or wrath still coming. When millions of years and ages are past and gone, this will still be wrath to come. Ever coming as a river ever flowing.”

“Wrath would be of no use to a rather cold and distant god, but a loving God, on the other hand, a loving Father (whose heart burns like a consuming fire), might find it appropriate when protecting His children from evil.”
“WRATH, n. Anger of a superior quality and degree, appropriate to exalted characters and momentous occasions; as, "the wrath of God," "the day of wrath," etc. . . .”
Source: The Devil's Dictionary
“Wrath, unlike love, is not one of the intrinsic perfections of God. Rather, it is a function of God's holiness against sin. Where there is no sin, there is no wrath-but there will always be love in God. Where God in His holiness confronts His image-bearers in their rebellion, there must be wrath, or God is not the jealous God He claims to be, and His holiness is impugned. The price of diluting God's wrath is diminishing God's holiness.”
“Wraths
My soul is full of fire,
Wrath and tempestuous dirge;
I feel but one desire,
To find a sword and scourge:
Since man, by right of birth
And nature’s gift at least
A god upon the earth,
Remaineth but a beast,
Ill-ruling, blind and halt,
And not by powers’ unknown,
Or far-off Heaven’s, fault,
But chiefly by his own.
Lies!—let us drink them up,
The sweet and bitter lies!
Man takes the maddening cup
And drinks and dreams and dies.
Pure as revealing morn
The angel Truth stands there;
But we, oh basely born!
Dare not to look at her.
Not by eternal laws
Condemn’d to eternal ruth,
We suffer; but because
We dare not face the truth.
We wreath and sanctify us
To the inferior gods;
For things which vilify us
We lash ourselves with rods.
We rip our veins and bleed
Before the gods of mire;
For Moloch, without need,
Consume our babes in fire;
But the greatest God of all
In eternal silence reigns;
To His high audience-hall
No human soul attains.”

“Wray Nerely, the character in Con Man, he actually had a role in Rogue One, but he got cut. It sucked. John Swartz, the producer, is a big fan of Con Man. I even got to screen Con Man while we were shooting Star Wars. They had a theater there, and they let me screen one of the little 10-minute episodes for everyone. What sucked was I had to follow Star Wars.”
“Wrecked and despondent at midlife, I need to undertake a strict personal evaluation that will lead to personal transformation. I must be willing to start afresh and attempt to make myself anew. In order to begin all over and not culminate in the same deadhead rut as before, I admit to harboring personal insecurities and boldly confront my greatest fears. In order to establish an altered foundation that will support a revised self, I commence by asking the pertinent questions. If I run fast enough and long enough, can I quash slavish personal demons and capture an elusive self? Can I exercise the self-discipline to eliminate the artificial screens that I hide behind in order to peer out at the formidable world? Do I possess the personal audacity to explore unfamiliar terrain and the internal grit to dual the primal flex of nature’s power while accepting on equal terms the thrall and tragic beauty of surviving in a violent habitat?”

“Wrecks are going to happen in this business, that's just a risk of the sport. If you can't keep from worrying about it, then you're in the wrong line of work.”
“Wren could not easily walk away now, because she had lingered past the point of invisibility. Her identity was crystallized to these people, and once she allowed herself to become solid to other human beings, she would be seen. After being seen, Wren risked being known, and being known came with the risk of loss. Even this small interaction cost her too much.”

Source: Shark Heart
“Wren did not see her mother as a sick woman living within a body she no longer knew or controlled. Instead, she saw a pathetic, powerless beast surrounded by murder, a mess of blood and guts. As rage bubbled up and spilled over, Wren sharpened a pernicious, worded arrow and lobbed it at the bull's-eye, her mother.
"You are a monster."”

“Wren didn't think kissing anyone had ever felt like this. Like it was pulling. her together and breaking her apart all at the same time. As if this kiss could make her. A kiss to end times.
Perhaps a kiss to start times.”

“Wren?' he says. 'Talk to me.'
I don't reply. What would be the point? I know he will twist me around his finger with words. I know that if I give him half the chance, love-starved creature that I am, I will be under his spell again. With him, I am forever a night-blooming flower, attracted and repelled by the heat of the sun.
'Let me explain,' he calls to me. 'Let me atone.'
I bite the tip of my tongue to keep myself from snapping at him. He meant to keep me ignorant. He tricked me. He lied with every smile. With every kiss. With the warmth in his eyes that should have been impossible to fake.
I'd know what he was capable of. Over and over, he'd shown me. And over and over, I believed there would be no more tricks. No more secrets.
Not anymore.
'You have good cause to be furious. But you couldn't have lied, had you known the truth. I was afraid you'd have to lie.' He waits, and when I say nothing, rolls into a sitting position. 'Wren?'
I can see the leather straps running across his cheeks. If he wears the bridle long enough, he'll have scars.
'Talk to me!' he shouts, standing and coming to the bars. I see the gold of his hair, the sharp lines of his cheekbones, the glint of his fox eyes. 'Wren! Wren!'
Coward that I am, I flee. My heart thundering, my hands shaking. But I can't pretend that I don't like the sound of him screaming my name.”

“Wren, in her sleeping robe, standing close to a tall wolf demon, her head craned back to face him. The wolf: Moon caste, marbled ash-gray fur flowing silkily over angular features, a diamond-shaped patch of white on his long, muzzlelike jaw. He’s dressed in soldier’s clothes. One pawed hand is lifted to cup Wren’s face, like the beginning of a kiss.”

“Wren missed her mother most at times like these, when she felt powerless and had no idea what to do. She looked at her hands as if an answer were written upon them.”

“Wren's encouragement both calmed and frightened Lewis. He wished it were Wren who was holding him back.”

“Wren started dining alone in cafes, diners, bars, and restaurants just to be near other people, the movements and sounds of lives being lived together. On one of these solo excursions, Wren met a man in a yellow shirt who made her feel that the world was a good place, and the world was a good place because she was someone living in it.”

“Wren was discovered in the flashing lights of a patrol car two years later, walking along the side of a highway. The soles of her shoes were as worn as if she'd danced through them, her clothing was stiff with sea salt, and scars marred the skin of her wrists and cheeks.”

“Wren was disgusted with herself and then devastated. His work could no longer be discovered. She had lost him all over again.”

“Wren, you have plenty of reasons not to trust me right now, but I do intend to stop Lady Nore. And I believe we can. Though I plan on bringing back Madoc, we will still have gone a deed no one can deny was of service to Elfhame. Whatever trouble I will be in, you'll be a hero.'
I am not sure anyone has considered me that, not even the people I've saved. 'And if I decide to part ways? Are you going to tie my hands and drag me along with you?'
He looks at me with trickster eyes beneath arched golden brows. 'Not unless you scratch me again.'
'Why do you want to help him?' I ask. Madoc had been willing to use Oak as a path to power, at the least.
'He's my father,' he says, as though that should be enough.”

“Wrestling became very stale and boring for me, and I wasn't really making any money with it. So I decided to get into fighting.”

“Wrestling is a one-on-one experience and if something goes wrong you can't point a finger and blame somebody else. What you do is up to you. And yet it's a team sport, because whether your team wins or loses is a result of the cumulative effect of the matches. Wrestling is a great confidence builder because it's not all about strength. You have to use your balance and skill and technique and if you do, you can overcome a lot of muscle and bulk guys, and even those who have natural ability. Basically, you can out-technique an opponent.”
“Wrestling is a performance. Its entertainment, we [wrestlers] tell stories. We make our fans happy by telling stories but the long and short of it its pretty much the same thing as acting.”

“Wrestling is realer than reality TV.”
“Wrestling is the only sport I've ever competed in that puts you totally in a situation of constant motion without breaks. I could play football or baseball, swim -- but there's always some kind of situation that would break my thoughts, break my concentration.”
