“I am the flesh of your flesh, and you are the heart of my heart. When the hand hurts, the eye cries, and when the eye hurts, the hand wipes the tears away. We’re supposed to comfort each other in this life and guide each other to God’s Kingdom in the next. That’s what my mother taught me about marriage. Did she not teach me truly, my lord?”

“I want you to be the father of my child, yes, more than any other man in the world. I want us to grow old together, and lie tangled up in bed during long winter nights, and walk through the garden at the birth of every spring. I want you to read to me, letters and poems, and I want to feed you when you are sick and keep you warm during fever. I want to be by your side till the day I die.”

“Such a glorious history you have, slaughtering outnumbered men and torturing helpless women and children! You dare call yourselves civilized? You’re nothing but a pack of Norse pirates, who took the cross only when the French king promised you land to grasp and wine to guzzle and women to deflower!”

“The Norman spike has driven itself deep into this soil. They have settled in the country and populated the towns, built fortresses and governed shires. They have left our brightest and best in a smoldering heap, from which the smoke can never more be gathered. We cannot expect to raise the stalk back up again when it has been ground into feed.”

“Woden was willing to hang upon a tree to prevent the end, yet all his efforts were in vain. I would rather worship a God who would make a fool of Himself for love, hung from a tree so that sinners might be granted pardon and peace. He has gained a victory that cannot be overturned.”

“You won’t settle for peace, Rob,” said Owain. “Not after what you’ve seen. You’ll demand justice...yes, and you’ll take it. I know you. And if you want us to be of any help to you when the time comes for you to stand tall, you'll have to teach us how to stand beside you.”

“I transformed Medusa,' Athena continued, 'so that she would have protection against all those who would try to harm her.' 'That's bullshit. You didn't give her a choice, did you?' Lore bit back. 'And now history remembers her as a villain who deserved to die.' 'No. That is what men have portrayed her as, through art, through tales. They imagined her hideous because they feared to meet the true gaze of a woman, to witness the powerful storm that lives inside, waiting. She was not defeated by my uncle's assault. She was merely reborn as a being who could gaze back at the world, unafraid. Is that not what your own line did for centuries, staring out from behind her mask?”
