Quotes by Michael Curtis Ford (?)

“Either we die here in the snow or we die fighting. I prefer the hard way.”
― Michael Curtis Ford, The Ten Thousand: A Novel of Ancient Greece

“Bloody battle and homecoming embrace, lightning-studded skies and Arcadian pastures, riddles, mirrors, smoke, illusion, the love of a woman, the wrath of the gods. Life is drama, a tragedy and comedy both, and we the actors. A trite observation, one decidedly inspired by some other man's muses. Yet for all the horrors and triumphs of the stage, I have found that the arts of Dionysus offer little to compare with the struggles and achievements, the lives and deaths of real men, or at least of men of thought and action, men who renounce the apathy and ignorance of those who pas through life as if they were mere temporary visitors, gawking occasionally but for the most part simply following the meaty desires of their bellies and loins.”
― Michael Curtis Ford, The Ten Thousand: A Novel of Ancient Greece
