"The Aztec gods and goddesses are, as far……" — D. H. Lawrence

"The Aztec gods and goddesses are, as far as we have known anything about them, an unlovely and unlovable lot. In their myths there is no grace or charm, no poetry.

The goddess of love is goddess of dirt and prostitution, a dirt-eater, a horror, without a touch of tenderness..."

— D. H. Lawrence
