“The hearts of men are alike wherever you go. The rest is scenery.”
Ferdia Lennon, Glorious Exploits

“You don’t rob a man of his suffering,’ says Gelon quietly. ‘That’s his.”
Ferdia Lennon, Glorious Exploits

“There's more to Athens than tragedy,' says Paches with feeling. 'We laugh till we cry, and we drink.' Another swig. 'We drink till we fall down, but we're up first thing in the morning to scheme and love and build and do it all again. It's a city of belief, not despair.”
Ferdia Lennon, Glorious Exploits
