And I like a good horror story as much as the next person so long as they kill off some men too and not just girls. But the voices Joan heard were real. There’s clear and substantiated proof they were real. She won battles that would otherwise have been lost because of what those voices told her in advance of them allowing the French generals to strategize in ways completely different than they did before Joan came along. People’s lives were saved because of what those voices told her.Meg Cabot
About This Quote
The idea behind this quote is that Joan of Arc was a martyr for her cause. She lost battles but won the war. If she didn't speak to the voices, then she wouldn't have been able to change the course of history. She would have lost her battles, hence the title of the book "Voices", but if she hadn't had those voices telling her what to do, then history would have changed how it was supposed to.
