The surface of American society is covered with a layer of democratic paint, but from time to time one can see the old aristocratic colours breaking through.

To a terrible place which men’s ears             may not hear of, nor their eyes see it.

Never honor the gods in one breath and take the gods for fools the next.

KREON. Ich gehe, von dir verkannt, gerecht jedoch vor diesen.

Whoever gets up and comes to grips with Love like a boxer is a fool.

How sweet for those faring badly to forget their misfortunes even for a short time.

And if to some my tale seems foolishness I am content that such could count me fool.

When I have tried and failed, I shall have failed.

One must wait until the evening to see how splendid the day has been.
