Çekinme, hatırlama ne kadar çok sevdiğini ve nasıl doğurduğunu çocuklarını. Bugün, sadece bugün unut, sonra tutarsın yaslarını. Öldürmüş de olsan çok… - Euripides

CRE. Now indeed cease from your grief, for it is time to think of the sepulture. But hear these words, O Œdipus; Eteocles, thy son, hath given to me the dominion of this land, giving them as a marriage portion to Hæmon, and with them the bed of thy daughter Antigone. I therefore will not suffer thee any longer to dwell in this land. For clearly did Tiresias say, that never, whilst thou dost inhabit this land, will the state be prosperous. But depart; and this I say not from insolence, nor being thine enemy, but on account of thy evil genius, fearing lest the country suffer any harm.

Human misery must somewhere have a stop: there is no wind that always blows a storm; great good fortune comes to failure in the end.

There be many shapes of mystery; And many things God brings to be, Past hope or fear. And the end men looked for cometh not, And a path is there where no man thought. So hath it fallen here.
