vitriol QUOTES

1 " Everyone knows revenge is a dish best served when you've had enough time to build up enough vitriol and fury. "

2 " Back in medieval times, " I said, " we used oil of vitriol for its healing properties. No doubt that's why Commodus had some in his infirmary. Today we call it sulfuric acid." Meg flinched. " Isn't that dangerous?" " Very." " And you *healed* with it?" " It was the Middle Ages. We were crazy back then. "

3 " Patience is the blue vitriol to control the fungal emotions of life "

― Munia Khan

4 " A pall fell over the room. A black shroud of disease and deathbeds and all the worst things from all the worst places. This mutant world, a tragic portmanteau, the unnatural marriage of two roots as different as could be. 'And do you, Ability take Vitriol to be your lawfully wedded suffix?' I wanted to scream objections to the unholy matrimony, but nothing came out. My mouth was clammy and dry, full of sand. Dr. Wilson smiled on, rambling about the benefits of Abilitol while my father nodded like a toy bobblehead immune to the deepening shadow in the room.

As they spoke, I caught my mother's eye. I could tell by her face that she felt the deepening shadow too.

Neither of us smiled.
Neither of us spoke.
We felt the shadow together. "

5 " The vitriol and viciousness is the inevitable result of a government increasingly deciding the vital aspects of people's lives. "

― A.E. Samaan

6 " Revenge in the hands of your enemies is a loaded gun. You can beg them for mercy, wave the white flag of surrender, but the only true elixir for the vitriol they bestow is a measure of hatred dispensed of your own. "

― Addison Moore , Wicked (Celestra, #4)
