Athena's Child Quotes

“Perhaps all monsters are born. Then again, perhaps it is just a way of hiding the darkness we all carry within us. A darkness we force ourselves to keep hidden from the world for we can barely imagine what terrible misdoings would occur if we were to let that darkness grow. Because the truth that we all know is this. Darkness grows.”

“I do not know wars, but I know of battles. Battles waged in my family’s name when my first suitor came calling when I was just eight. Battles I waged when I refused to let men’s hands wander where they felt they had a right to, or when I refused to follow them on a walk, down a path or into an olive grove. I know of the battles I have waged as I stood in a marketplace and demanded that men look not at my breasts, or my eyes, or my legs but at the fruit which I was selling. These were not battles of blood, it is true, but they are battles. Battles that I have fought and won.”
― Hannah M. Lynn, Athena's Child

“It is not a life you would have chosen for her; I understand that. One of toil and uncertainty. But what is a burden for some, is freedom for another. A snake charmer earns his living where others would find their demise. A sailor spends years at sea, when others may perish in a week. You have raised her well. Trust her.”
― Hannah M. Lynn, Athena's Child
