Some quotes from Oedipus Rex:
That which men seek amain
They find. 'Tis things forgotten that go by.
They find. 'Tis things forgotten that go by.
He who plucks a friend
Out from his heart hath lost a treasured thing
Dear as his own dear life.
Out from his heart hath lost a treasured thing
Dear as his own dear life.
'Tis
Time alone can make men know
What hearts are true; the false one day can show.
A fearful thing is knowledge, when to know
Helpeth no end.
Helpeth no end.
