“No enemy is worse than bad advice.”

“Good advice, if there's any good in suffering. Quickest is best when trouble blocks the way.”

“No one loves the messenger who brings bad news.”

“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.”

“TEIRESIAS:You have your eyes but see not where you arein sin, nor where you live, nor whom you live with.Do you know who your parents are? Unknowingyou are enemy to kith and kinin death, beneath the earth, and in this life.”

“So here I am, against my will and yours too, well I know-- no one wants the man who brings bad news.”

“What greater wound is there than a false friend?”
