Perverted Quote by Richard K. Morgan
““You know God does not manifest Himself,” Halgan shouted. “That is also heresy. The Revelation is not corporeal. You know this. Why do you persist in this perverted speech?” “I like perverted. Maybe you would, too, if you gave it a chance.” “Leave my men alone,” Rakan said coldly. “Degenerate.” Ringil smooched a kiss at him.””
