Favorite Amazons Quotes

1. "Chorus of old men: If we give them the least hold over us, 'tis all up! their audacity will know no bounds! We shall see them building ships, and fighting sea-fights like Artemisia; nay if they want to mount and ride as cavalry, we had best cashier the knights, for indeed women excel in riding, and have a fine, firm seat for the gallop. Just think of all those squadrons of Amazons Micon has painted for us engaged in hand-to-hand combat with men."
Author: Aristophanes
2. "Swallows and Amazons for-ever!"
Author: Arthur Ransome
3. "I do so love my witches and wicked queens. I find myself drawn to feminine archetypes that previous generations have found threatening or dangerous: crones, oracles, madwomen, Amazons, virgins who aren't helpless, bad mothers. I love to give the vagina dentata voice. It so rarely gets to speak for itself."
Author: Catherynne M. Valente
4. "I even made poor Louis take me on Crusade. How's that for blasphemy? I dressed my maids as Amazons and rode bare-breasted halfway to Damascus. Louis had a seizure and I damn near died of windburn...but the troops were dazzled."
Author: James Goldman
5. "I had just heard tales that the Valkyrie were large warriors, akin to Amazons.""If you're the sole survivor of an army attacked by us, are you going to say we had our asses handed to us by petite, nubile females, or by she-monsters who can bench Buicks?"
Author: Kresley Cole
6. "And now my old dog is dead, and another I had after him, and my parents are dead, and that first world, that old house, is sold and lost, and the books I gathered there lost, or sold- but more books bought, and in another place, board by board and stone by stone, like a house, a true life built, and all because I was steadfast about one or two things: loving foxes, and poems, the blank piece of paper, and my own energy- and mostly the shimmering shoulders of the world that shrug carelessly over the fate of any individual that they may, the better, keep the Niles and Amazons flowing."
Author: Mary Oliver
7. "He looked at me. "Why the hell did they ignore me but kept staring at me as if I were a purchasable sex toy?""Uhm...'cause that's kinda what you're to them.""Care to elaborate?""It's their way of live and love. Men are sex toys. Grab them, use them properly, and if you get bored or want a new shiny one, then get rid of them. They're like Amazons, independent - and proudly so - and strong."He cocked his head. "Use them properly,huh? Could you lay out what you mean by that, I think there might be a translation error here."I had to grin. "Not falling for it."
Author: Natalie Herzer
8. "The mob hysteria over pedophiles has reached epidemic proportions and driven parents to panic. Today's Just Williams, today's Huck Finns, today's Swallows and Amazons are deprived of the freedom to roam that was one of the delights of childhood in earlier times (when the actual, as opposed to the perceived, risk of molestation was probably no less)."
Author: Richard Dawkins
9. "HAZEL: "THERE," she said.The official building on their left had a single word etched on the glass doors: AMAZON."oh," Frank said."Uh, no, Hazel. That's a modern thing. They're a company, Right? they sell stuff on the internet. They're not actually Amazons.""Unless..." Percy walked through the doors."
Author: Rick Riordan
10. "What freaking year were you born in? You can't be much younger than me. They had all of those shows about Amazon chicks and Greek gods, gladiators. . .""You watched shows about Amazons and Greek gods." It was more of a flat statement than a question."Screw you. Them bitches were fierce.""You're a bizarre person.""Says the guy in the bodysuit."Mr. Greek's mouth sunk at the sides. "It's protective armor.""Like I fucking said."
