'Let you not mistake your duty as I mistook my own. I came into this village like a bridegroom to his beloved, bearing gifts of high religion; the very crowns of holy law I brought, and what I touched with my bright confidence, it died; and where I turned the eye of my great faith, blood flowed up.'
[The Crucible]
'Whoever thinks that he alone possesses intelligence,
the gift of eloquence, he and no one else,
and character too…such men, I tell you,
spread them open—you will find them empty.'
[Antigone]
'Reason is God's crowning gift to Man.'
[Antigone]

[Antigone]
'Death is not the worst thing; rather, when one who craves death cannot attain even that wish.'
[Electra]
'One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life: That word is love.'
[Oedipus at Colonus]
You see me, you people of my country/as I set out on my last road of all,/looking for the last time on the light of this sun.../though I have known nothing of marriage songs/nor chant that brings the bride to bed./My husband is to be the Lord of Death."
