Additional quotes by Sophocles
I have no love for a friend who loves in words alone.
In time you will know this well: For time, and time alone, will show the just man, though scoundrels are discovered in a day.
Yet I pity the poor wretch, though he's my enemy. He's yoked to an evil delusion, but the same fate could be mine. I see clearly: we who live are all phantoms, fleeing shadows.
