Dominic Quotes

“Oh. Yeah, um…” I was pretty sure I matched a fire truck. “He’s a heavy sleeper.”
“I’m sure he is.” Dominic stepped back. “If you wish to join your uncle, I’ll be waiting outside. You should have time to get ready. Your uncle is a…heavy sleeper, also.”
Whaaaa…and then it hit me. Ew. Ew. Ew.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, Apollyon

“She misses him more now than when he was away”

“My lord said, amongst other things, that he did not propose to burden the doctor with the details of his genealogy.

“What about the contacts your mum had?” his dad asked.
“I rang and spoke to four very polite computers who gave me all these options and then cut out on me. Then I tried the post office, because they were advertising, and I spoke to another computer. Very rude, that one. Don’t think it recognized ‘Are you shitting me?’ as an option.”
“You know why that is?”
“Why is that, Dominic?” Tom had asked drolly, because he knew he was going to be told why.
“Because we don’t live in a society anymore, Tom. We live in an economy. We’re not citizens. We’re customers. That’s what this government’s done to us.”
― Melina Marchetta, The Piper's Son

“Znasz hi­sto­rię An­dre­ja Żi­ro­va?
– Re­wo­lu­cjo­ni­sty?
Żirov był ra­dy­ka­łem za cza­sów dziad­ka Ni­ko­ła­ja.
Na za­krwa­wio­ne usta Do­mi­ni­ka wy­pły­nął cień uśmie­chu.
– Kiedy pró­bo­wa­li po­wie­sić go za zdra­dę, lina urwa­ła się i spadł do rowu, który żoł­nie­rze wy­ko­pa­li na jego grób.
Ni­ko­łaj pró­bo­wał się uśmiech­nąć.
– Nigdy o tym nie sły­sza­łem.
Do­mi­nik ski­nął głową.
– „W tym kraju”, krzyk­nął wtedy Żirov, „nie po­tra­fią nawet po­rząd­nie po­wie­sić czło­wie­ka!”.”
― Leigh Bardugo, King of Scars

“The real difference between Francis and Dominic, which is no discredit to either of them, is that Dominic did happen to be confronted with a huge campaign for the conversion of heretics, while Francis had only the more subtle task of the conversion of human beings.”
