Additional quotes by Aeschylus

Even in our sleep, pain which cannot forget
falls drop by drop upon the heart
until, in our own despair, against our will,
comes wisdom through the awful grace of God.

It is tempting
For the winner, who might have lost his life,
To take all.
And to destroy whatever cannot be taken.
Let us pray they restrain themselves.

მიუჯდა სუფრას, მსუყე ნაჭრებს შეახო პირი,
და სასაფლაოს საჭამანდი იყნოსა უცბად..
