Additional quotes by Aeschylus

Marvels, the Earth breeds many marvels,
terrible marvels overwhelm us.
The heaving arms of the sea embrace and swarm
with savage life. And high in the no man's land of night
torches hang like swords.

The brave heart is called to school itself
In slow endurance against
Griefs that strike deep into the bosom

But as he willed 'tis ordered all,
And woes, by heaven ordained, must fall—
Unsoothed by tears or spilth of wine
Poured forth too late, the wrath divine
Glares vengeance on the flameless shrine.

Let me attain no envied wealth, let me not plunder cities, neither be taken in turn, and face life in the power of another. - Aeschylus
