Harpies Quotes

• Prostitution requires for its diminution not only laws, well enforced, to abolish the traffic in womanhood; not only better social protection against harpies who seduce young girls seeking an honest livelihood; not only better chaperonage of young girls in exposed occupations; not only better opportunities for natural enjoyment of youthful pleasure under morally safe conditions; not only these - but most of all, greater power on the part of the average young girl to earn her own support under right conditions and for a living wage.

• Wives are good on paper, at least. until they turn into harpies with sharp claws and open check books. Then they're kind of frightening. And they put on all kinds of makeup and parade around the street with their shopping cart yelling "Sale on aisle seven!" at anyone who will listen. Their wooden clog sandals make a helluva racket on linoleum tile. Their plastic jewelry clatters like the bones of little children.

• I'll tell you something, Harpy," he said, his voice almost a whisper now. "It never even occurred to me that we wouldn't make it. And it never occurred to you that we would. You were just waiting for us to go down in flames. I thought we could get through anything.

• Un abismo tan profundo como la ciénaga serbia, entre Damiata y el viejo monte Casius, donde se han hundido ejércitos enteros: el aire abrasador quema la sangre, y el frío hace el efecto del fuego. Allí son llevados todos los condenados a ciertas revoluciones, y sienten por turnos el amargo cambio de feroces extremos, -extremos por cambios más feroces; de lechos de fuego furioso a morir de hambre en el hielo su suave calor etéreo, y allí a consumirse inmóviles, infijos, y congelados alrededor, períodos de tiempo; de allí apresurados de vuelta al fuego.

• Love's the only thing I've thought of or read about since I was knee-high. That's what I always dreamed of, of meeting somebody and falling in love. And when that remarkable thing happened, I was going to recite poetry to her for hours about how her heart's an angel's wing and her hair the strings of a heavenly harp. Instead I got drunk and hollered at her and called her a harpy.

• Shut up," Morgan said, whirling on the woman and pointing the sword at her. "Shut up, you shrill harpy, before I aid you in doing so by means of a dozen ways you won't care for in the least." Adhémar's fiancée fell, blessedly, silent.

• La guerra es un monstruo con mechones serpenteantes, ojos ardientes e inyectados en sangre y garras de arpía, que atraviesa campos hermosos y deja sus huellas en aldeas en llamas, hombres moribundos, esposas e hijos llorosos, y necesita ser vista por aquellos que tan ávidamente claman por ella en cada oportunidad. La visión de ese temible fantasma, rodeado de cráneos, cadenas hediondas de sangre y desolación y ruina a su paso, detendría su ansia por él, a menos que se vieran realmente obligados.

• Tabitha blinked innocently. "Why is your consort speaking to me without my having addressed him first?" she asked Kaia. "Have you not taught him the proper order of things?" So the little man wasn't supposed to speak to the women folk without an invitation? Screw that. "Just stay out of my head, Harpy, or I'll make sure you regret it. By the way, how's the leg?" She hissed at him. Win!
