Additional quotes by Sophocles

You, you'll see no more the pain I suffered, all the pain I caused! Too long you looked on the ones you never should have seen, blind to the ones you longed to see, to know! Blind from this hour on! Blind in the darkness-blind!

I will never reveal my dreadful secrets, or rather, yours.

A city which belongs to just one man is no true city
