“Maybe on day I can be just as lazy as you and turn off lights without moving.”“That’s something to aspire to.”… “God, you’re so modest.”“Modesty is for saints and losers. I’m neither.”“Wow, Daemon, just wow.”

“I would not let a man who knew the value of nothing make me doubt the value of myself.” ― Jennifer Saint, Ariadne
“Modesty is for saints and losers. I'm neither.” ― Jennifer L. Armentrout, Onyx
“What I did not know was that I had hit upon a truth of womanhood: However blameless the life we lead, the passions and the greed of men could bring us to ruin, and there was nothing we could do.” ― Jennifer Saint, Ariadne
“I would be Medusa, if it came to it, I resolved. If the gods held me accountable one day for the sins of someone else, if they came for me to punish a man’s actions, I would not hide away like Pasiphae. I would wear that coronet of snakes, and the world would shrink from me instead.” ― Jennifer Saint, Ariadne
“Saint Delphi my ass.” ― Jennifer L. Armentrout, Elixir
“I had been a fool to trust in a hero: a man who could only love the mighty echo of his own name throughout the centuries.” ― Jennifer Saint, Ariadne
“You told me once that one lifetime of human love was worth the loss.” ― Jennifer Saint, Ariadne
“It was the women, always the women, be they helpless serving girls or princesses, who paid the price.” ― Jennifer Saint, Ariadne
“I danced for the end of everything I knew and the beginning of everything I did not.” ― Jennifer Saint, Ariadne
“The stories of Perseus did not allow for a Medusa with a story of her own.” ― Jennifer Saint, Ariadne
“Because if I had learned anything, I had learned enough to know that a god in pain is dangerous.” ― Jennifer Saint, Ariadne
“Mortals may age, but the gods are prisoners of their own infantile whimsies, never capable of change and never knowing what it is to love because they dare not risk the suffering of loss.” ― Jennifer Saint, Ariadne
“The gods do not know love, because they cannot imagine an end to anything they enjoy. Their passions do not burn brightly as a mortal’s passions do, because they can have whatever they desire for the rest of eternity. How could they cherish or treasure anything? Nothing to them is more than a passing amusement, and when they have done with it, there will be another” ― Jennifer Saint, Ariadne
“No longer was my world one of brave heroes; I was learning all too swiftly the women's pain that throbbed unspoken through the tales of their feats.” ― Jennifer Saint, Ariadne
“Was this my punishment? To live the reality of my dream and find out that its glittering beauty faded to nothing when I stepped close?” ― Jennifer Saint, Ariadne
“I know that human life shines more brightly because it is but a shimmering candle against an eternity of darkness, and it can be extinguished with the faintest breeze.” ― Jennifer Saint, Ariadne
“I stayed silent. I realised that when I had seen all those suitors clamour in the hall for Helen, I had believed they were there because they loved her, but I had been wrong. They hated her. They hated her because she was so beautiful and because she made them want her so much. Nothing brought them more joy than the fall of a lovely woman. They picked over her reputation like vultures, scavenging for every scrap of flesh they could devour.” ― Jennifer Saint, Elektra
“Let him come back so that I can see his eyes as the light drains from them. Let him come back and die at the hands of his bitterest enemy. Let him come back so that I can watch him suffer. And let me make it slow.” ― Jennifer Saint, Elektra
