Additional quotes by Sophocles

It's not through words but actions that I want to set the luster on my life.

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!

To Never Have been born may be the greatest boon of all
