Additional quotes by Sophocles

No yield to the dead! Never stab the fighter when he's down. Where's the glory, killing the dead twice over?

Yet I pity the poor wretch, though he's my enemy. He's yoked to an evil delusion, but the same fate could be mine. I see clearly: we who live are all phantoms, fleeing shadows.

The greatest griefs are those we cause ourselves.

Whatever is sought for can be caught, you know, whatever is neglected slips away. - Sophocles
