Cassandra Quotes

“The state is a matter of consent,’ I heard old Master Tiraes instruct her as she sat at his feet. ‘The king and the subjects all agree that one shall rule and others shall be ruled.

― Kerry Greenwood, Cassandra

“The difficulty, my asclepid, is not to govern people, but to make them govern themselves,”
― Kerry Greenwood, Cassandra
