Stacy Schiff
“Cleopatra’s was an honorable death, a dignified death, an exemplary death. She had presided over it herself, proud and unbroken to the end. By the Roman definition she had at last done something right; finally it was to her credit that she had defied the expectations of her sex.”
Stacy Schiff, Cleopatra

Stacy Schiff
“The word “formidable” sooner or later attaches itself to Cleopatra and here it comes: she was formidable—spirited, disciplined, resourceful—in her retreat. There were no hints of despair. Two thousand years after the fact, you can still hear the fertile mind pulsing with ideas.”
Stacy Schiff, Cleopatra

“Octavian was at once alarmingly impressionable and curiously resistant to advice from his elders.”
Stacy Schiff, Cleopatra

L.D. Goffigan
“Something that frustrated Sebastian, as I’m sure you’re aware, Adrian, is how Cleopatra’s intelligence is still to this day underestimated for this notion of her being this famed seductress.”
L.D. Goffigan, The Cleopatra Cipher

“Perhaps life was just an accumulation of such strange and trivial mysteries, Mio thought.”
Takuya Asakura, The Vanishing Cherry Blossom Bookshop
