" "For strangely graven
Is the orb of life, that one and another
In gold and power may outpass his brother.
And men in their millions float and flow
And seethe with a million hopes as leaven;
And they win their Will, or they miss their Will,
And the hopes are dead or are pined for still;
But whoe'er can know,
As the long days go,
That To Live is happy, hath found his Heaven!

Additional quotes by Euripides
A mene snađe nenadana nesreća
i srce slomi. Propadoh, i život već
za mene, sestre, čara nema — osim smrt.
Jer onaj ko mi beše sve, to dobro uviđam,
moj vojno, ispao je podlac najgori.
Od svega štono ima život, srce, um,
mi žene još smo bića najžalosnija.
Za skupo blago moraš muža kupiti.
A od te bede još je veća beda to
što mužu nisi drugo nego robinja.
Sve do tog stoji da li dobi rđava
il' čestita. Jer prosca ne smeš odbiti,
a s mužem rastanak sramotu donosi.
Kad nađeš drugu ćud i druge zakone — a od kuće ih ne znaš — treba proročki
da imaš um da mužu u svem ugodiš.
Pa ako sreća trud nam u tom nagradi
i vojno bračni jaram složno podnosi,
e — to je život! Nema 1' toga, lek je smrt.
A čovek, ako domaći ga namuče,
on ode od kuće i srce zasiti
u svome društvu, među svojim znancima.
Mi smemo gledat' samo njega jednoga!
Ta kažu da je za nas život bezbrižan,
a oni s kopljem u boj idu junački.
Budale! Više volim triput okršaj
no jedan, samo jedan mučan porođaj!
