Watchful are the Gods of all Hands with slaughter stained. The black Furies wait, and when a man Has grown by luck, not justice, great, With sudden overturn of chance They wear him to a shade, and, cast Down to perdition, who shall save him?
Aeschylus
Image
When a man's willing and eager the god's join in.

For sufferers it is sweet to know before-hand clearly the pain that still remains for them.
Aeschylus
Image
The high strength of men knows no content with limitation.
Aeschylus

The truth Has to be melted out of our stubborn lives By suffering. Nothing speaks the truth, Nothing tells us how things really are, Nothing forces us to know What we do not want to know Except pain. And this is how the gods declare their love.
Aeschylus
Image
The words of truth are simple.
Aeschylus
Image
It is best for the wise man not to seem wise.
Aeschylus
