Athenian Steel Quotes

“She smiled. “So. Are we... partners?” How many women down the ages had smiled at men in just this way and asked a similar question? Women whose minds were like those of men, only subtler and more dangerous. And how many men had those women consigned to misery and death by luring them into undertakings which, to those looking back, hearing the tale unfold in bard’s song or seeing it acted upon a festival stage, are easily seen for abject folly?”
― P.K. Lentz, Athenian Steel
