Additional quotes by Aeschylus

Appearances are a glimpse of the unseen.

Τὸ μὲν εὖ πράσσειν ἀκόρεστον ἔφυ
πᾶσι βροτοῖσιν.

Man must suffer to be wise.
Head-winds heavy with past iol
Stray his course and cooud his heart;
Sorrow takes the blind soul's part — Man grows wise against his will.
For powers who rule from thrones above
By ruthlessness commend their love.
