Quote by Joan O'Hagan

“The women of Republican times are silent. Rarely calling for comment in the history books, they are named on tombstones, flit in arrogant beauty through poetry, or appear even as monsters of iniquity in a court of law. Yet they themselves do not speak and they have left no literature of any sort of their own. In this book, however, Roman women live and love and hate anything but silently. (author's note To the Reader in 'A Roman Death'.)”

“Educate your children never to serve your nation; to serve the nation makes monkey out of human, killing on the basis of nationality and religion. If you wanna serve your nation, serve through science, serve through art, serve through music, literature, industry, but never through military.”
