Nancy Omeara
“How did I become President?
I began by setting an example, hanging out my own dirty laundry in front of Village Earth right from the start. Every ugly little life secret became a matter of public record. Of course, that included sordid love-life details.”
Nancy Omeara, The Most Popular President Who Ever Lived [So Far]

Yvonne Korshak
“We had old architects and were working with what we had on hand. You’ve hired this new, young architect now, and, Pericles, I’m going to build you a statue of Athena—all gold and ivory, think of that, Pericles—and taller than our city walls.” Pericles raised his eyes toward the birds.”
Yvonne Korshak, Pericles and Aspasia: A Story of Ancient Greece
