“Woman?” She chuckled. “Is that meant to insult me? I would return the slap, if I took you for a man.”

We are only human, and the gods have fashioned us for love. That is our great glory, and our great tragedy.

Our sons are trained to be soldiers, our daughters to be leaders.

Women do not forget. Women do not forgive.

(i made this last night with some very helpful suggestions from nissanissas so thank her!)

Don’t talk so bitterly about any woman. I don’t think now that people can be divided into the good and the bad as though they were two separate races or creations. What are called good women may have terrible things in them, mad moods of recklessness, assertion, jealousy, sin. Bad women, as they are termed, may have in them sorrow, repentance, pity, sacrifice. 

I do not frighten easily.
