Sheri S. Tepper Quotes
HECUBA: I Had A Knife In My Skirt, Achilles. When Talthybius Bent Over Me, I Could Have Killed Him. I Wanted To. I Had The Knife Just For That Reason. Yet, At The Last Minute I Thought, He's Some Mother's Son Just As Hector Was, And Aren't We Women All Sisters? If I Killed Him, I Thought, Wouldn't It Be Like Killing Family?Wouldn't It Be Making Some Other Mother Grieve? So I Didn't Kill Him, But If I Had, I Might Have Saved Hector's Child. Dead Or Damned, That's The Choice We Make. Either You Men Kill Us And Are Honored For It, Or We Women Kill You And Are Damned For It. Dead Or Damned. Women Don't Have To Make Choices Like That In Hades. There Is No Love There, Nothing To Betray.
