""He did not see the Grecian kings throw babes from the walls of Troy.
Stamp on the heads of infants, run knives across the throats of unmarried
girls. He only heard the songs that the poets were commanded to perform
by victorious, bloody men." Surely there are no works, no plays, about the suffering the surviving Trojan women went through. Surely." — Jun 16, 2025 01:27PM

Sophia ☽’s Quotes

“I want to make my kingdom beautiful, to fill it with fat men and pretty maids and laughing children. I want my people to smile when they see me ride by, the way Viserys said they smiled for my father. (Daenerys)”
― George R.R. Martin, A Clash of Kings

“But it will be harder for you if you remember. Love is always harder. Love means weathering blows for another’s sake and not counting them. Love is loss of self, loss of other, and faith in the death of loss.”
― Christopher Buehlman, Between Two Fires

“Eurydice, dying now a second time, uttered no complaint against her husband. What was there to complain of, but that she had been loved?”
