Stay with me?" His fingers wound into my hair, and his arm tightened around me. "Always. ~ Amalia Carosella
Helen Of Sparta quotes by Amalia Carosella
Perhaps Zeus was king, but I was Spartan, a princess twice over, and queen of Athens besides. I knew my duty. And I would rule my own fate. ~ Amalia Carosella
Helen Of Sparta quotes by Amalia Carosella
I felt as if Delphi herself were calling out to me: Come and know me if you can! It takes a special kind of person to learn my secrets. Are you strong or nimble enough to fight through my crowds? Are you smart enough to find your way through my streets? Are you wise enough to deal with any peril or adventure I might choose to throw across your path? I am Delphi, and I dare you to conquer me!
And I am Helen of Sparta, I thought. I'm your match, just wait and see. ~ Esther M. Friesner
Helen Of Sparta quotes by Esther M. Friesner
Believe. No pessimist ever discovered the secrets of the stars, or sailed to an uncharted island, or opened a new heaven to the human spirit. ~ Helen Keller
Helen Of Sparta quotes by Helen Keller
All of us who covered the Reagans agreed that President Reagan was personable and charming, but I'm not so certain he was nice. It's hard for me to think of anyone as 'nice' when I hear him say 'The homeless are homeless because they want to be homeless.' ~ Helen Thomas
Helen Of Sparta quotes by Helen Thomas
On a dais in a London church, the Virgin Mary sits suprised by a rough crest of candlelight. The discomforture isn't in her expression but in the fluid form her carving takes, the way peaceful eyes rest in sockets that threaten to release them. Either the wood is eccentrically soft, or this sculpture remains a tree, alert
(despite careful varnishing and a wide, warning ring of sacred space around it)
to a propensity to burn. ~ Helen Oyeyemi
Helen Of Sparta quotes by Helen Oyeyemi
what they'd been afraid of was running out of self. On the contrary the more they loved the more there was to love. ~ Helen Oyeyemi
Helen Of Sparta quotes by Helen Oyeyemi
Vel took both of her hands and stepped backwards on to the gangplank. 'No!' she squealed, pulling him back on to the quay.
'What?'
'You might fall in, going backwards.' His grip on her hands tightened enough to hurt. 'Ow!'
'I'm going up.' He glowered at her. 'I'm going backwards. I'm going now. Are you coming, or shall I tell the others to come and wave you goodbye?'
That earned him a glower in return. 'You're a brute. I hate you and I'm only coming to keep Ren safe from you. ~ Helen Bell
Helen Of Sparta quotes by Helen Bell
Weightless (in air), alcohol units 8 (but in-flight so canceled out by altitude), cigarettes 0 (desperate: no-smoking seat), calories 1 million (entirely made up of things would never have dreamt of putting in self's mouth were they not on in-flight tray), farts from traveling companion 38 (so far), variations in fart aroma 0. ~ Helen Fielding
Helen Of Sparta quotes by Helen Fielding
I wouldn't be very happy if a poet read what I had written and said, 'What a peculiar thing to say about this work of mine.' ~ Helen Vendler
Helen Of Sparta quotes by Helen Vendler
Respect your captor, Caecelia. Learn to love your position, Caecelia. Pledge loyalty to Sparta, Caecelia. All hail Queen Caecelia of Sparta! ~ Sai Marie Johnson
Helen Of Sparta quotes by Sai Marie Johnson
I bought a brown-skinned glove puppet. He came with a little black briefcase and his hair was parted exactly down the middle. The precision of his parting made me uneasy; somehow it was too human at the exact same time as exposing his status as a nonhuman. ~ Helen Oyeyemi
Helen Of Sparta quotes by Helen Oyeyemi
I keep telling you, nobody wants legs like a stick insect. They want a bottom they can park in a bike in and balance a pint of beer on. ~ Helen Fielding
Helen Of Sparta quotes by Helen Fielding
The women's movement is just a symptom of basic changes in the economy that are favoring women. ~ Helen Fisher
Helen Of Sparta quotes by Helen Fisher
But she's only a woman!" The watch captain shook his head again. "So was Helen of Troy, sir. Look what she started. ~ Ruth Downie
Helen Of Sparta quotes by Ruth Downie
Somehow a bachelor never quite gets over the idea that he is a thing of beauty and a boy forever. ~ Helen Rowland
Helen Of Sparta quotes by Helen Rowland
Andromache: See, I've stopped crying. I won't cry ever again, I promise you.

Helen: Don't promise that. Never promise that. Tears are good sometimes. They clear the heart of sorrow. Cry. ~ Adele Geras
Helen Of Sparta quotes by Adele Geras
What do you want, Mary Foxe? My husband?" "I believe in him," she said slowly. I wondered if she'd ever told him that, and if so, what he had to say about it. Someone you made up turns around and tells you they believe in you - what response could you possibly make? The scenario is just plain weird. And really kind of impertinent on her part, too. If it happened to me I think I'd be speechless for the rest of my life. ~ Helen Oyeyemi
Helen Of Sparta quotes by Helen Oyeyemi
Sorabji's hair was long and matted, as was his beard. He'd spent six months in a tropical sun, and was now dark brown. His clothes had been disgusting after the first week; following local custom he had taken to wearing his shirt as a loincloth. Sorabji always liked to say that the unfortunate consul had travelled hundreds of miles into the interior to rescue a British citizen, only to find Gunga Din. It was true that the loincloth had come from Gieves & Hawkes, but this was not something you'd notice on a casual inspection. ~ Helen DeWitt
Helen Of Sparta quotes by Helen DeWitt
This woman is Pocahontas. She is Athena and Hera. Lying in this messy, unmade bed, eyes closed, this is Juliet Capulet. Blanche DuBois. Scarlett O'Hara. With ministrations of lipstick and eyeliner I give birth to Ophelia. To Marie Antoinette. Over the next trip of the larger hand around the face of the bedside clock, I give form to Lucrezia Borgia. Taking shape at my fingertips, my touches of foundation and blush, here is Jocasta. Lying here, Lady Windermere. Opening her eyes, Cleopatra. Given flesh, a smile, swinging her sculpted legs off one side of the bed, this is Helen of Troy. Yawning and stretching, here is every beautiful woman across history. ~ Chuck Palahniuk
Helen Of Sparta quotes by Chuck Palahniuk
How futile are words in the ears of those who mourn. ~ Helen Keller
Helen Of Sparta quotes by Helen Keller
That city is well fortified which has a wall of men instead of brick. ~ Lycurgus Of Sparta
Helen Of Sparta quotes by Lycurgus Of Sparta
The anger was vast and it came out of nowhere. It was the rage of something not fitting; the frustration of trying to put something in a box that is slightly too small. You try moving the shape around in the hope that some angle will make it fit in the box. Slowly comes an apprehension that this might not, after all, be possible. And finally you know it won't fit, know there is no way it can fit, but this doesn't stop you using brute force to try to crush it in, punishing the bloody thing for not fitting properly. That was what it was like: but I was the box, I was the thing that didn't fit, and I was the person smashing it, over and over again, with bruised and bleeding hands. ~ Helen Macdonald
Helen Of Sparta quotes by Helen Macdonald
It seems to me that the great difficulty of writing is to make the language of the educated mind express our confused ideas, ~ Helen Keller
Helen Of Sparta quotes by Helen Keller
His youngest sister, Linda, wanted to be a singer and she had now refused point-blank to go to secretarial college; his father had refused pointblank to let her study music. Linda had gone to the piano and begun to play Chopin's Prelude No. 24 in D minor, a bitter piece of music which gains in tragic intensity when played 40 times in a row. ~ Helen DeWitt
Helen Of Sparta quotes by Helen DeWitt
Usually they are quick to discover that I cannot see or hear ... It is not training but love which impels them to break their silence about me with the thud of a tail rippling against my chair on gambols round the study, or news conveyed by expressive ear, nose, and paw. Often I yearn to give them speech, their motions are so eloquent with things they cannot say. ~ Helen Keller
Helen Of Sparta quotes by Helen Keller
I got home and I thought I should stop leading so aimless an existence. It is harder than you might think to stop leading an existence, & if you can't do that the only thing you can do is try to introduce an element of purposefulness ... and though I might have to wait another 30 or 40 years for my body to join the non-sentient things in the world at least in the meantime it would be a less absolutely senseless sentience. OK. ~ Helen DeWitt
Helen Of Sparta quotes by Helen DeWitt
The struggle of life is one of our greatest blessings. It makes us patient, sensitive, and Godlike. It teaches us that although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it. ~ Helen Keller
Helen Of Sparta quotes by Helen Keller
We dragged Linc along. His current honey is working tonight."
"Still the intern?"
"Yeah." Helen sat on the curvy velvet chaise, made herself at home. "I'm starting to think he's
getting serious about her."
"And?"
"I don't know. She's a nice girl, raised well. Focused, which he could use, and independent,
which I appreciate."
"But he's your baby."
"But he's my baby," Helen agreed. "I miss the little boy sometimes, with the scabbed knees and
loose shoelaces. Still see him in that tall, gorgeous lawyer in the three-piece suit that strolls in and
out of my life now. And Jesus, ~ Nora Roberts
Helen Of Sparta quotes by Nora Roberts
I was in love with Philip, but had ongoing proof that romantic love is like a swimming pool. People fall into it and scramble out of it wet and disheveled, usually in one piece but damaged, all the time. ~ Helen Brown
Helen Of Sparta quotes by Helen Brown
How am I supposed to forget you?" Helen asked, laughing weakly at such a silly suggestion. "You're too big a part of me. I'd have to forget who I am to forget you. ~ Josephine Angelini
Helen Of Sparta quotes by Josephine Angelini
Rhys couldn't help wondering... had he known the first time he'd met Helen that this man was her father, would it have mattered?
Maybe at first. He wasn't sure. But there was no doubt that eventually he would have succumbed to the irresistible attraction of Helen, the magic she would always hold for him. In his mind, there was no connection between Helen and Vance, regardless of physical resemblance, blood, or heredity. There was only good in Helen. That gentle, valiant spirit, that perfect mixture of strength and kindness, was all her own. ~ Lisa Kleypas
Helen Of Sparta quotes by Lisa Kleypas
Fortunately New Zealand doesn't have land borders so we are able to be somewhat more rigorous on who gets in and out of our country than perhaps some people. ~ Helen Clark
Helen Of Sparta quotes by Helen Clark
But let us not too hastily triumph in the shame of Sparta, lest we aggravate our own condemnation. ~ Thomas Day
Helen Of Sparta quotes by Thomas Day
The most important thing is to bring people with Parkinson's into our world and for the public to have a real understanding of it, as they're beginning to have with autism. ~ Helen Mirren
Helen Of Sparta quotes by Helen Mirren
The true light never hides the darkness but is born out of the very center of it, transforming and redeeming. So to the darkness we must return, each of us individually accepting his ignorance and loneliness, his sin and weakness, and, most difficult of all, consenting to wait in the dark and even to love the waiting ~ Helen M. Luke
Helen Of Sparta quotes by Helen M. Luke
The story of a passionate woman in a stale marriage is as old as Helen of Troy. ~ G. Willow Wilson
Helen Of Sparta quotes by G. Willow Wilson
