Additional quotes by Euripides

Kısa ve öz konuşarak kendini güzel tanıttın,
ama ben kadınlarla konuşmaya utanırım.

And women, though most helpless in doing good deeds, Are of every evil the cleverest of contrivers.

SMRT: Oho-ho!
Otkud vi u sektoru?
Što se zadržavate,
Apolone Febe, tu?
Zar opet omalovažavate
ingerencije donjih službi?
Nije li dovoljan presedan
bilo Admetovo izuzeće,
odjel sudbine grubo izmanipuliran?
Zar se sada, je li, okreće
vaša oružana sila
i u obranu predmetne žene
koja je sama odlučila
provesti značajne izmjene
u planu umiranja supruga?
