In his oft-quoted insight, "It was the rise of Athens and the fear that this inspired in Sparta that made war inevitable." — Graham T. Allison
In my Pantheon, Pan still reigns in his pristine glory, with his ruddy face, his flowing beard, and his shaggy body, his pipe and his crook, his nymph Echo, and his chosen daughter Iambe; for the great god Pan is not dead, as was rumored.

It is Quality, not dialectic, which is the generator of everything we know. — Robert M. Pirsig

Isn't it a remarkable coincidence almost everyone has the same religion as their parents ? And it always just happens to be the right religion. Religions run in families.

Through childhood indoctrination. — Richard Dawkins
Hercules,huh? Percy frowned. "That guy was like the Starbucks of Ancient Greece. Everywhere you turn--there he is. — Rick Riordan

If I can make you good for something, then by golly I’m going to do it. (Tory) — Sherrilyn Kenyon
