“ ”Take these things to heart, my son, I warn you.
All men make mistakes, it is only human.
But once the wrong is done, a man
can turn his back on folly, misfortune too,
if he tries to make amends, however low he's fallen,
and stops his bullnecked ways. Stubbornness
brands you for stupidity - pride is a crime.

Additional quotes by Sophocles
Oh my love take me there. Let me dwell where you are. I am already nothing, I am already burning. Oh my love, I was once part of you — take me too!
Men of ill judgment oft ignore the good that lies within their hands, till they have lost it.
To a terrible place which men’s ears may not hear of, nor their eyes see it.
