From the Ventrue

"As the chosen Ventrue Primogen, I would, of course, first like to stress the importance of the Masquerade. Without this Masquerade, the kindred would be few or nothing. Although we have powers and strengths far beyond those of the mortals, they are far greater than we in number."

"The Sabbat would have us believe that we could rule them easily. This, of course is a lie. Could you stand up against a mob full of angry and fearful mortals alone? Or could your entire coterie stand up to a government attack squad? Our entire race against nuclear weapons? I think not."

"I, and my fellow clan members, believe that above all things that the Masquerade must be not only preserved, but enforced. What good does it do for all of the kindred if all but one follow the Masquerade? If the mortals see but one of us in a frenzy, we are all as good as dead."
"To enforce the Masquerade, all of the clans must work together. If possible, every clan must be represented. We must stop our foolish squabbling and unite. The whole is stronger than the individual."
