← All quotes by Sophocles

6 quotes

I well believe it, to unwilling ears;None love the messenger who brings bad news.

They are not wise, then, who stand forth to buffet against Love; for Love rules the gods as he will, and me.

One word
Frees us of all the weight and pain of life:
That word is love.

War loves to seek its victims in the young.

Even old age views not with eyes of love
The gates of Hades.

Love, ... who keepest thy vigil on the soft cheek of a maiden
