― Deborah Blake, Dangerously Divine

“It was the Die Trying promotion tour, and I wasn't mugged. In fact, I mugged the other guy. Promotion tours are hard work, but the compensation is freebie visits to places you might not otherwise go, so I always make a habit, when the day is done, of taking a stroll, usually about midnight. I was in San Francisco, so figured I'd go look at the Tenderloin part of town, which is rough. This guy stepped out and basically said, "Give me your money." ... I was amazed how quickly I snapped back through almost 40 years and suddenly became that tough city kid again. I got right in the guy's face and told him he had to give me his money or I'd break his arms. Just a purely instinctive reaction from long ago. Never back down. Never show fear. He only had five bucks. I gave it to the next homeless person I saw.”
― Lee Child

“A hanging typically occurs after someone is found guilty in the eyes of the law and irredeemable in the eyes of society. A lynching is the killing of an individual for how they look and what they represent to a vigilante mob.”
― Stewart Stafford

― Ripley Patton, Ghost Hand

“I had lost my connection with the universal energy and gained in its place precognition, visions, and a healing gift I could not control.”

Y dijo: "Mientras intenten matarme a mí, no matarán a inocentes. Así que llévame a casa".”

“Everyone wants power; let them have it. Your goal is not power. Your goal is the illusion of surrendering power.”

“The date rape drug he’d intended to give me has knocked him out so hard he’s barely even flinched, despite being dragged to the top of a twelve-storey building, stripped naked and bound to a post.

His head lolls towards his chest. I stand back to admire him, taking in his slumped frame as he wilts against the pressure of his rope bindings. He looks Christ-like, vulnerable. His skin is grey in the murky moonlight. His body is incredible. Hardly surprising, since he seems to spend half his life at the gym. His stomach is taut, rippled with abs. His pecs are straight from a swimwear ad, his broad shoulders and ripped arms are built like a boxer’s. His biceps are strong, lined with veins that will soon cease to pump blood. He has the kind of arms that could pin you down so tightly you wouldn’t be able to move a muscle. His hands are large �� the least attractive part of him: dry, thick, stubby. They’re the type of hands that could grip your wrists and stifle screams. Hands that could have killed me tonight. Hands that would have hurt me. Hands that would have held me in place while he raped me.

I let my eyes wander down to his cock, which would probably have been pounding away inside me around now if things had gone his way. I could tell pretty early into our date that he was a predator. Perhaps it takes one to know one, but I could see it in his dark eyes and sly glances, the hungry way he took in my body, the type of questions he asked, his eagerness to buy me drinks. He probably didn’t think I had it in me to notice. Of course he didn’t. He just saw my shiny, sweeping hair, my lashes, my clothes, my smile. He saw what everybody else sees: my mask.”
― Zoe Rosi, Pretty Evil

“Renn took a step in closer, a predatory gleam returning to his eyes. “Vigilante against the establishment and rich guy CEO with more connections than necessary? Bust out some fancy tech and you’re pretty much fae Batman.”
― Katherine McIntyre, Tempting Ballad

“The smile of those around you should not be mistaken for acceptance.
Always stay vigilant.”
― Zhizhi Meshach

“What kind of a horse’s ass wears a fucking Tilley hat when they’re trying to follow someone?”
― Ernest L. Canning, The Bean Sidhe

“She dared to move further into the apartment. She crept closer to the open bathroom door. This Percy fellow was kneeling in the bathtub, fully clothed, hot water cascading over him. He appeared to be praying, as well he should. Percy Augustus Willoughby had had a very bad night, that was evidently true. She watched a second longer, and then crept back to the living room sofa.”
― Ernest L. Canning, The Bean Sidhe

“Her gaze fell upon the bottle sitting on the coffee table directly in front of her. The label declared it to be something called cinnamon whiskey. The bottle was half full. She unscrewed the top, and took a long pull. The fire went directly to her sphincter. Recovery was slow. She couldn’t believe the little man presently busy praying in the bathroom couldn’t hear her gasping for air.

She replaced the cap and studied the bottle’s label. What the hell is cinnamon whiskey anyway? Whoever this little prick is, he is definitely tougher than he looks.”
― Ernest L. Canning, The Bean Sidhe

“The difference between a vigilante and a reformer is that a vigilante with their half-baked and insecure notions of justice feels compelled to hide their identity, whereas a reformer has nothing to hide, for a reformer knows, no lasting reform can be brought through anonymity.

If you have something to say, say it, and stand by it with your last breath. Doctors save lives, and they have family, yet they don’t hide behind anonymity. Soldiers and cops defend lives, and they have family, yet they don’t hide behind anonymity. Scientists save the world, and they have family, yet they don’t hide behind anonymity. Then what makes a vigilante so special that they have to keep their identity a secret!

You don’t need a secret identity to serve the
world. You just need to stand up with
accountability against the most distressing
troubles faced by society, and your very name
will turn into an immortal symbol, that will send
a shockwave of courage and inspiration through
countless generations to come.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Either Reformist or Terrorist: If You Are Terror I Am Your Grandfather

“A Vigilante Stalks by Stewart Stafford

O slain avenger on the mortal shore,
Moral compass of an immoral craft,
Virtue cloaked with malignant wings,
Intravenous vengeance on two legs.

Grinning charm gave way to coercion,
Cold eyes unwavering from the prize,
Art critic and thief in a rogues' gallery,
Breaking fingers reeking of corruption.

Serving a brew of fear to the fearsome,
Never made you a flavour of the month,
Festering secrets spewed in last breaths,
Before they made you yesterday's man.

“El cuerpo intuye el abuso. El cuerpo aprende todas y cada una de las señales que mandan los abusadores cuando creces sin padre y con una madre trabajando tres turnos al día. El cuerpo está siempre vulnerable. Y el alma lo sabe.”

“Society tended to dismiss and ignore older women. Big mistake. Never underestimate a woman due to her age.
Every word made me love and respect Gram more. She could have sat back and celebrated her escape. Stayed quiet and healed in private. No one would have blamed her, but she took a different path. She looked at the suffering passed in silence from generation to generation and said enough.”
― HelenKay Dimon, The Usual Family Mayhem

“Apparently arsenic is odorless and can't be detected by taste, so it's easy to administer." Gram took another sip of tea. Then one more. "It often isn't detected in the bloodstream after death because no one thinks to test for it."
Look at Gram knowing all the arsenic facts.”
