“This belonged to my sister-in-law," Prometheus explained. "Pandora."

A lump formed in my throat. "As in Pandora's box?"

Prometheus shook his head. "I don't know how this box business got started. It was never a box. It was a pithos, a storage jar. I suppose Pandora's pithos doesn't have the same ring to it.”
― Rick Riordan, The Last Olympian

“It was over now, and the meaningless world was tolerable and need not be explained. And never would it be, and how foolish I had ever been to think so.”
― Anne Rice, Pandora: New Tales of the Vampires

“Pandora opened the box with the new high-heels, put them on and went out to town.”

“You let me handle Marius," I said. "Now, you didn't come without you dagger."

"No, I did not," he said, lifting his cloak to reveal it, "And with your permission I would like to plunge it through my heart now so I will most assuredly stone-cold dead before the Master of this house arrives home to find you runnning rampant in his garden!"

"Permission denied.”
― Anne Rice, Pandora

“Don’t cling to reason so desperately in a world of so many horrid contradictions”
― Anne Rice, Pandora

“The Fall, so often considered a terrible thing, is a fall into experience; like falling of the epileptic to earth, it may also have its other face, for then we fall into the embrace of our dreams and fears and know them for what they are, face to face.

[...]the fearful face of the Black Goddess is really the veiled Sophia. The rebirth of the mystery initiation brings us into contact with our own power, which we have failed to take in our own time. Part of the reason for this is that we live in the shadow of the Judeo-Christian Fall for which Woman bears the blame. The experience of Psyche and Kore shows the vulnerable face of Sophia, who is not afraid to fall, to learn by seeming mistakes. They show that the descent into death is the only possible pathway to ascent or spiritual rebirth.”
― Caitlín Matthews, Sophia: Goddess of Wisdom, Bride of God

“The disparity between outward appearances and inner disposition had disturbed me all my life.”
― Anne Rice, Pandora

“—Pues la pillará algún día —insistió Pandora con aire ominosoâ€�, si es que no la ha pillado ya. Y luego me la transmitirá a mí. —Estás siendo muy dramática. Y no todos los libertinos tienen sífilis.
—Le pienso preguntar.
—¡Pandora, no lo hagas! Ese pobre hombre se asustará.
—También me asustaré yo si termino perdiendo la nariz.”
― Lisa Kleypas, Devil in Spring

“I reach now for a victim who is not easy for me to overcome: my own past. Perhaps this victim will flee from me with a speed that equals my own. Whatever, I seek now a victim that I have never faced. And there is the thrill of the hunt in it, what the modern world calls investigation.”
― Anne Rice, Pandora

“—Jamás he querido casarme —continuó Pandoraâ€�. Puede decírselo cualquier persona que me conozca. Cuando era pequeña, no me gustaban las historias de princesas que necesitaban ser rescatadas. No pedí ningún deseo a una estrella fugaz, ni deshojé margaritas mientras decía «me ama, no me ama». En la boda de mi hermano, repartieron trozos de la tarta nupcial a todas las muchachas solteras y dijeron que si los poníamos debajo de la almohada, soñaríamos con nuestro futuro marido. Yo me lo comí. Hasta la última miga. Los planes que he hecho para mi vida, no incluyen convertirme en la esposa de nadie.”
― Lisa Kleypas, Devil in Spring

“You can sow the seeds of distrust everywhere, and lose yourself in an overgrown field.”

“In ancient times when Pandora's box was opened-"
"Pandora?" Kendra interrupted. "Are you talking about the myth?"
Catty nodded solemnly. "It isn't a myth," she stated firmly and continued, "The last thing to leave the box was hope. Only Selene, the goddess of the moon, saw the creature that had been sent by the Atrox to devour hope. Selene took pity on the people of earth and gave her Daughters, like guardian angels, to perpetuate hope. I'm one of those Daughters. A goddess.”
― Lynne Ewing, The Secret Scroll

“You know what it takes to teach philosophy here? You have to lie. You have to fling meaningless words as fast as you can at young people, and brood when you can't answer, and make up nonsense and ascribe it to the old Stoics.”
― Anne Rice, Pandora

“Hope can't exist on its own, it requires chaos. Most things require an opposite. Therefor, if there's no chaos - is there really hope?

Although I hope to be wrong.”
― Monaristw

“Their focus is almost always on the destruction which Pandora has wreaked or will imminently wreak, which is surely a consequence of the Pandora and Eve narratives.”
― Natalie Haynes, Pandora's Jar: Women in the Greek Myths

“How do you mend a broken heart?
Beginning to end we grew apart
Opening up Pandora's Box
Angry Birds back and forth.

We were just not meant to be
Nothing more than history
RIP
Our love's deceased
Memories drowned in misery.”
― Soroosh Shahrivar, Letter 19

“Marriage is far too important a matter to be decided with reason”
― Lisa Kleypas, Devil in Spring

"I am not Windstriker."
"No you're not," I agreed. "He is an archangel. You are not.”

“There is hope, that hope will be set free.”

“t seemed that Pandora had been with me, that she had been in the very chapel. And the beauty of Pandora seemed bound up with the beauty and presence of Akasha in some intimate way which I could not understand.”
― Anne Rice, Blood And Gold

“In the beginning of the ancient world Prometheus stole a glowing ember from the sacred fire of the gods and gave it to all mortals to protect them from the cold of night. But Zeus, the king of the gods, became angry that such a gift had been taken, and in vengeance he decided to balance the blessing of fire with a curse. He ordered Hephaestus to sculpt a woman of exquisite beauty whose destiny was to bring great sorrow upon the human race. She was to be named Pandora.
As Hephaestus molded the clay into a stunning female, a primordial evil called the Atrox watched covetously from the shadows. Once she was complete, Hermes took Pandora to Epimetheus, the brother of Prometheus, and offered her to him, as a present from Zeus. When he saw the beautiful Pandora, Epimetheus forgot his brother's warning not to accept any gifts from the great god, and took her for his bride.
For her dowry, the gods had given Pandora a huge, mysterious storage jar, but the Atrox knew what lay inside. At the wedding feast, it shrewdly aroused her curiosity and convinced her to open the lid. And when she did, countless evils flew into the world. Only hope remained inside, a consolation for all the evils that had been set free. But no one saw the demon sent by the Atrox to destroy hope and kidnap Pandora. Selene, the goddess of the Moon, however, finally heard Pandora's cries and stopped the demonic creature.
The Atrox studied this defeat and envisioned a way to inflict even greater suffering upon the world. It journeyed to the edge of the night and found the three sister Fates, goddesses older than time, who spun threads that predetermined the course of every life. Once they had agreed to the Atrox's plan, their decision became irrevocable. Even great Zeus could not alter their ruling. Only Selene dared to scorn their decree, and she alone vowed to change destiny.”
― Lynne Ewing, The Becoming

“According to legend when Pandora opened the box, horrible things flew out and all of life's miseries were let out into the world.
I think my Pndora's box contains your memories which will spill out of that box like ghosts tearing apart the fabric of the soul and bursting forth.”
― Shahid Hussain Raja

“Love." You shrugged your shoulders. You looked up and then back at me for emphasis. "And it rained and it rained for millions of years, and the volcanoes boiled and the oceans cooled, and then there was love?" You shrugged to make fun of the absurdity.”
