“You must remember that no one lives a life free from pain and suffering.”

“One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life: That word is love.”

“You, you'll see no more the pain I suffered, all the pain I caused! Too long you looked on the ones you never should have seen, blind to the ones you longed to see, to know! Blind from this hour on! Blind in the darkness-blind!”

“Go then if you must, but remember, no matter how foolish your deeds, those who love you will love you still.”

“CHORUS:You that live in my ancestral Thebes, behold this Oedipus,- him who knew the famous riddles and was a man most masterful; not a citizen who did not look with envy on his lot- see him now and see the breakers of misfortune swallow him!Look upon that last day always. Count no mortal happy till he has passed the final limit of his life secure from pain.”

“Oblivion - what a blessing...for the mind to dwell a world away from pain.”

“One wordFrees us of all the weight and pain of life:That word is love.”
