Men are so quick to blame the gods: they say that we devise their misery. But they themselves- in their depravity- design grief greater than the griefs that fate assigns.
Homer
Image
There is nothing more dread and more shameless than a woman who plans such deeds in her heart as the foul deed which she plotted when she contrived her husband's murder.

Homer
Image
Take thou thy arms and come with me, For we must quit ourselves like men, and strive To air our cause, although we be but two. Great is the strength of feeble arms combined, And we can combat even with the brave.
Homer
Image
I'm a rageaholic. I just can't live without rageahol.
Homer
Image
Reproach is infinite, and knows no end So voluble a weapon is the tongue Wounded, we wound and neither side can fail For every man has equal strength to rail.
Homer
Image
For too much rest becomes a pain.
Homer
Image
I hate To tell again a tale once fully told.
Homer
Image
It's disgraceful how these humans blame the gods. They say their tribulations come from us, when they themselves, through their own foolishness, bring hardships which are not decreed by Fate.
Homer
