The Legend of Sheba - Quotes| Tosca Lee

Quotes from the book The Legend of Sheba by Tosca Lee:

• What is love . . . But freedom.
• A weak man declares a woman a temptress and orders her to cover herself. A strong man covers himself and says nothing.
• The history keepers will no doubt tell their own tale, and the priests another. It is the men's accounts that seem to survive a world obsessed with conquest, our actions beyond bedchamber and hearth remembered only when we leave their obscurity. And so we become infamous because we were not invisible, the truth of our lives ephemeral as incense.”
• It is harder for queens, who have no luxury of meekness. History does not know how to reconcile our ambition or our power when we are strong enough to survive it. The priests have no tolerance for those of us driven by the divine madness of questions.
