V's Introduction

“Viola! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a bygone vexation stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vangaurding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance, a vendetta held as a votive not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose. So let me simply add that it’s my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V.”
- V, V for Vendetta

Death Quotes

“If one lives intensely, the time comes when sleep means bliss. If one loves intensity, the time comes when death seems bliss.... The life I want is a life I could not endure for eternity. It is a life of love and intensity, suffering and creation, that makes life worth while and death welcome. There is no other life I prefer. Neither should I like not to die.... For most of us death does not come soon enough. Lives are spoiled and made rotten by the sense that death is distant and irrelevant. One lives better when one expects to die, say, at forty, when one says to oneself long before one is twenty: whatever I may accomplish, I should be able to accomplish it by then; and what I have not done by then, I am not likely to do ever. One cannot count on living until one is forty - or thirty- but it makes for a better life if one has a rendezvous with death. Not only love can be deepened and made more intense and impassioned by the expectation of impending death; all life is enriched by it.”
- Walter Kauffman, Faith Of A Heretic
