Quotes

  • Widyahas quoted6 years ago
    Hephaestion is a philosopher; they are warriors. He is a knight and a

    gentleman; they are murderers. Don't mistake me; Hephaestion has

    depopulated districts. He has presided over massacres. Yet these

    don't touch him. He remains a good man. The monstrous does not

    exist within him, and even the commission of monstrous acts

    cannot cede it purchase upon him.
  • Widyahas quoted6 years ago
    He carries nine great

    wounds, all in the front. He is taller and better-looking than I, as

    good a speaker, with as keen an eye for country. Only one thing

    keeps him from being my equal. He lacks the element of the

    monstrous.

    For this I love him.
  • Widyahas quoted6 years ago
    After me, Hephaestion is the ranking general of the

    expeditionary force, which is to say of the army entire. Many envy

    him bitterly. Craterus, Perdiccas, Coenus, Ptolemy, Seleucus—all

    consider themselves better field commanders. They are. But

    Hephaestion is worth the pack to me. Him awake, I can sleep. Him

    on my flank, I need look neither right nor left. His worth exceeds

    warcraft.
