Hla Stavhana

Famous quotes containing the words hla stavhana and/or stavhana:

    A woman hostage
    will call a young thief “hero”
    and look at him with love,
    even if she’s lost her mind with grief
    because her family
    has been slaughtered.
    As far as virtues go,
    who can hold a grudge?
    Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)

    Lucky Man,
    it’s true that she’s virtuous
    and has a beautiful body.
    And it’s true that I am lacking.
    But tell me:
    will all these people
    who aren’t like her
    have to die?
    —Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)
