Additional quotes by Sophocles

ELECTRA: Oh but my love — now that you have travelled back down all those years to meet my heart, over all this grief of mine, do not oh love — ORESTES: What are you asking?

ELECTRA: Do not turn your face from me. Don't take yourself away.

Wisdom is the supreme part of happiness; and reverence towards the Gods must be inviolate. Great words of prideful men are ever punished with great blows, and, in old age, teach the chastened to be wise.

Show me the man who keeps his house in hand, He's fit for public authority.
