Additional quotes by Sophocles

A lie never grows old.

We long to have again the vanished past, in spite of all its pain.

"Hail the sun! the brightest of all that ever
Dawned on the City of Seven Gates, City of Thebes!
Hail the golden dawn over Dirce's river
Rising to speed the flight of the white invaders
Homeward in full retreat!" - Chorus
