“Mortals may age, but the gods are prisoners of their own infantile whimsies, never capable of change and never knowing what it is to love because they dare not risk the suffering of loss.”
― Jennifer Saint, Ariadne

“But if everyone could feel everyone else’s pain, who would torture? Who would cause anyone unnecessary pain?”
― Octavia E. Butler, Parable of the Sower

“I would be Medusa, if it came to it, I resolved. If the gods held me accountable one day for the sins of someone else, if they came for me to punish a man’s actions, I would not hide away like Pasiphae. I would wear that coronet of snakes, and the world would shrink from me instead.”
― Jennifer Saint, Ariadne

“I had been a fool to trust in a hero: a man who could only love the mighty echo of his own name throughout the centuries.”
― Jennifer Saint, Ariadne
