Hades Quotes

Homer quote: "Nay if even in the house of Hades the dead forget their dead,..."

Love me, beloved; Hades and Death. Shall vanish away like a frosty breath; These hands, that now are at home in thine, Shall clasp thee again, if thou art still mine; And thou shalt be mine, my spirit's bride, In the ceaseless flow of eternity's tide, If the truest love thy heart can know. Meet the truest love that from mine can flow. Pray God, beloved, for thee and me, That our sourls may be wedded eternally. George MacDonald

John Dos Passos quote: "If there is a special Hades for writers is would be in the..."
If there is a special Hades for writers is would be in the forced contemplation of their own works. John Dos Passos
I think if Eternity held torment, its form would not be fiery rack, nor its nature, despair. I think that on a certain day amongst those days which never dawned, and will not set, an angel entered Hades? stood, shone, smiled, delivered a prophecy of conditional pardon, kindled a doubtful hope of bliss to come, not now, but at a day and hour unlooked for, revealed in his own glory and grandeur the height and compass of his promise: spoke thus? then towering, became a star, and vanished into...

Are ye of the Spawn of Darkness, a tempting beguiling creature from the pit, wanton limbs steaming from the fleshpots of Hades, in tortured and lubricious thrall to your Stygian and hellish masters?” “That’s Pulsifer,” explained Newton. “With a P. I don’t know about the other stuff, but we come from Surrey.” The voice on the phone sounded vaguely disappointed. Neil Gaiman
Homer quote: "Hateful to me as the gates of Hades is that man who hides one..."
Hateful to me as the gates of Hades is that man who hides one thing in his heart and speaks another. Homer
