“…and they limp and halt, they’re all wrinkled, drawn, they squint to the side, can’t look you in the eyes, and always bent on duty, trudging after Ruin, maddening, blinding Ruin.

“Ruin, eldest daughter of Zeus, she blinds us all, that fatal madness—she with those delicate feet of hers, never touching the earth, gliding over the heads of men to trap us all. She entangles one man, now another.”

“Aries in his many fits knows no favorites.”

“There is a time for many words, and there is also a time for sleep.”

“The roaring seas and many a dark range of mountains lie between us.”

“He knew how to say many false things that were like true sayings.”
