“People can have their opinions about everything in the world, but people's opinions end where the tip of my nose begins. Your opinions of others can only go so far as to where their own shoreline is. The world is for your taking, but other people are not. One is only allowed to have an opinion of me, if that person is done educating him/herself on everything about me. Before people educate themselves on everything about you, they're not allowed to open their venomous mouthes and have an opinion about you.”
― C. JoyBell C.

“Ransom really looked at the other man for the first time, shook his head, stared again. “Holy hell, your eyes are like a fucking viper’s.��

Venom raised an eyebrow. “You have hair prettier than one of Astaad’s concubines.��

Ransom gave the vampire the finger.

Venom grinned.”
― Nalini Singh, Archangel's Consort

“Illium, his expression subdued as it had been for too many days, turned to her. “Mind if I have a go?��

“Kick his ass.��

Stripping off his shirt and boots, Illium held out his hand for one of Venom’s blades. Lips curving, Venom passed it over. “Sure you can handle me, pretty, pretty Bluebell?��

“Did I ever tell you about my snakeskin boots?�� A savage grin, and she knew Venom was about to bear the brunt of whatever haunted the blue-winged angel.

Venom swirled his blade in hand. “I do think I need some new feathers for my pillow.”
― Nalini Singh, Archangel's Consort

“Venom’s pupils contracted the instant before he slid his sunglasses back on.
She couldn’t help it. “Why isn’t your tongue forked?��
“Why can’t you fly?�� A smirk. “Those things on your back aren’t accessories you know.”
― Nalini Singh, Archangel's Kiss

“Don't call anyone a devil, because within you, you can experience hell and the devil, and the devil is nothing, but you!”

“They let you drive now?" he said in a wondering tone of voice calibrated to get under her skin. "I leave for a couple of years and miss kitty's first steps. Did anyone take photos for the baby album I sent you?"

"It's full of pretty pictures." Holly bared her teeth at him in a caricature of a smile. "Honor is a little concerned about how I keep drawing you with your head cut off," she said in a deliberately thoughtful tone, "but an artist must follow her instincts.”
― Nalini Singh, Archangel's Viper

“Does it hurt to bite your tongue so hard?" he asked with faux concern.

Holly didn't miss a beat. "I'm in a car with you--I clearly have a high pain threshold,”
― Nalini Singh, Archangel's Viper

“Do you have infrared vision?" Interest glittered on his face.

Venom smiled, the curious reaction a far preferable one to quivering fear or horror. "You'll have to court me with roses and diamonds before asking such intimate questions."

Vivek snorted. "It's just like working for the Guild--place is full of smartasses.”
― Nalini Singh, Archangel's Viper

“If you lay with a scorpion, don't be surprised when it finally stings you.”

“Leaving the group, he reclined on a couch, drank morosely, and watched people. He noticed the games they played with one another. They put on masks of civility, all while spewing their venom.”
― Francine Rivers, An Echo in the Darkness

“When someone is angry and hateful toward you ~ they spit out all kinds of venom, to inflict you with unnecessary hurt and pain. But when you know who you are within, and you stand by your truth, their venom cannot poison you, its arrow turns and points straight back at them! To be humble and virtuous is a trait of the noble and the righteous”
― Angie karan

“Fear is the venom impact of predator sting,

“As in a tree, there is more sap in an Arm of the tree, than in a little sprig; but the sprig hath the same sap for kind that the Arm of the tree hath, and it all comes from the same root. So though there be more venom in some gross, crying sins, than in some others; yet there is no sin but hath the same sap, and the same venom, for the kind, that every sin hath, that the worst sin hath.”
― Jeremiah Burroughs, The Evil of Evils: The Exceeding Sinfulness of Sin

"Did I ever tell you about my snakeskin boots?"

"I do think I need some new feathers for my pillow.”

“QUEEN OF 339 SOLDIERS

The Scorpion Queen. Oh great Queen of the Desert.
Amidst your throne are 339 Soldiers
Your smiles are like lightning, piercing through the soul of men. How your enemies are crushed.

You are love. You are danger in the lock.
Let your enemies feel your wrath for beauty is your throne.
The water that flourishes in the desert.

Intelligent like the sun and proud like the moon.
Sex is only for the pleasure your soul and those who betray you will feel the sting of your venom.

Oh daughter of desert, may your reign be long.

“Have you ever had one of those moments when the world around you comes to a crashing halt? When your heart beats so loudly that it drowns out every other sound? When the universe collapses to a single, solitary, radiant point of energy? This was one of those moments for me. The last time I heard the name Sandra Flax, Clinton was still screwing that ugly chick from Arkansas." The squirrel cocked his head to the side. "Not Hillary, the other one, before the chubby kid." The squirrel still looked confused. "Fine! It was 1989. Anyway, the sound of Sandra's name sent shivers down my spine and reawakened a hatred so venomous, at one time I thought it would be my undoing.”
― Blayne Cooper, The Story of Me

“Forgiving the crime is like serving the venom”
― P.S. Jagadeesh Kumar

“Forgiving the mistake is like separating the poison and forgiving the crime is like serving the venom”
― P.S. Jagadeesh Kumar

“Snakes are habitually parsimonious with their poison; they parcel it out carefully, innoculating their victims with just the right amount to paralyse them and begin the process of predigestion. Animals that they intend merely to scare away do not normally receive much venom at all, or just enough to make them more careful in the future. If snakes were humans they would be the kind of people who save up small coins and put them into investment accounts, eat chocolates only after lunch on Sundays, beleive in swift corporal punishment to deter criminals, are sceptical about the value of social services, and give pocket handkerchiefs for Christmas presents.”
― Louis de Bernières, The Troublesome Offspring of Cardinal Guzmán

“Betrayal is the venomous serpent that slithers through the shadows of friendship, ready to strike when least expected. When loyalty turns to betrayal, it's a reminder that even the purest intentions can be tainted by deceit”
― Dr. Lucas D. Shallua

“My tongue, swollen with venom, hadn't said the right things.”
― Sarah Jude, The May Queen Murders

“He who hunts a serpent, hunts a spicy soup. If he strikes the serpent dead, he prepares a spicy soup but if the serpent strikes him, a spicy anti-venom soup is prepared for him. Whether he prepares soup or soup is prepared for him, soup is soup; eat it he must.”
― Vincent Okay Nwachukwu, Weighty 'n' Worthy African Proverbs - Volume 1

“أتعجب للصلّ لا يقتله سمّ في فيه، ولا أتعجب للإنسان لا تقتله سموم في قلبه ؟”
― Mikhail Naimy, كرم على درب

“At the apex of the snake's resistance, its body formed a fine powerful arc that was held momentarily in perfect tension, like a bow. Woman and snake were perfectly attuned to the moment and the task, each focused on the other. Hermine's absolute command over the creature, like her power over all the island, was as inalterable as the equality of the three sides of an equilateral triangle.
The storm-colored m'sauga gradually torqued her thick body into a flattened S in her silent, flowing resistance, matching the resistance of Hermine's right arm, and turned to reveal a smoky ribbed belly. Her mouth opened wide, as if in a yawn, and she revealed a pearly pink-white iridescence, the color of a princess dress or the inside of a river clam. Another wave of morel-mushroom musk rose as the venomous fangs bit the air in a staccato rhythm.”
― Bonnie Jo Campbell, The Waters

“The venom that inflicts the wound also births the healer's touch.”
― Dipa Sanatani, The Prophetess of Dharma : Long Lost Journeys of Divine Justice, Healing and Peace

“Venom doesn’t always declare itself in aggressions; sometimes it’s hidden in the calm of indifference, in the choices we justify, in the harm we cause without raising our voice.”
― Renuka Goria
