Additional quotes by Sophocles
Come, Fate, a friend at need,
Come with all speed!
Come, my best friend,
And speed my end!
Away, away!
Let me not look upon another day!
King as thou art, free speech at least is mine. To make reply; in this I am thy peer.
Yes it will be a grace if I die. To exist is pain. Life is no desire of mine anymore.
