Additional quotes by Sophocles

Do not believe that you alone can be right.
The man who thinks that,
The man who maintains that only he has the power
To reason correctly, the gift to speak, the soul — A man like that, when you know him, turns out empty.

Nothing great enters the life of mortals without a curse.

I was born to join in love, not hate — that is my nature
