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.
Sophocles
Image
Animals do neither good nor evil. They do as they must do.We may call what they do harmful or useful, but good and evil belong to us, who chose to choose what we do. [. . .] The animals need only be and do.We're yoked, and they're free. So to be with an animal is to know a little freedom.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Image
You are yoked with a lamb, That carries anger as the flint bears fire Who, much enforced, shows a hasty spank, And straight is cold again.
William Shakespeare
Image
Twenty years after we had left so fierce and proud, we were all right back where we had started, yoked to each other and the same old drama.
Dorothy Allison
Image
The person and society are yoked, like mind and body. Arguing which is more important is like debating whether oxygen or hydrogen is the more essential property of water.
Marilyn Ferguson
Image
Do not be wedded forever to fear, yoked eternally to brutishness.
Maya Angelou
Image
The most Heterogeneous ideas are yoked by violence together.
Samuel Johnson
Image
The most heterogeneous ideas are yoked by violence together nature and art are ransacked for illustrations, comparisons, and allusions their learning instructs, and their subtlety surprises but the reader commonly thinks his improvement dearly bought and, though he sometimes admires, is seldom pleased.
Samuel Johnson
Image
As a draft-animal is yoked in a wagon, even so the spirit is yoked in this body
Thomas Hobbes
Image
God hath yoked to guilt her pale tormentor,--misery.
William C. Bryant

Love is your master, for he masters you And he that is so yoked by a fool Methinks should not be chronicled for wise.
William Shakespeare
Image
When strength is yoked with justice, where is a mightier pair than they?
Aeschylus
Image
It is only with the companionship of the Holy Ghost that we can hope to be equally yoked in a marriage free from discord. I have seen how that companionship is crucial for felicity in a marriage. The miracle of becoming one requires the help of heaven, and it takes time.
Henry B. Eyring
Image
Change is the sum of the universe, and what is of nature ought not to be feared. But one gives it hostages, and lays one's grief upon the gods. Sokrates is free, and would have taught me freedom. But I have yoked the immortal horse that draws the chariot with a horse of earth and when the one falls, both are entangled in the traces.
Mary Renault
Image
Mother of the Sun, Theia of many names, for your sake men honor gold as more powerful than anything else and through the value you bestow on them, o queen, ships contending on the sea and yoked teams of horses in swift-whirling contests become marvels.
Pindar
