Grief teaches the steadiest minds to waver. ~ Sophocles
Haemon Antigone quotes by Sophocles
Show me the man who keeps his house in hand, He's fit for public authority. ~ Sophocles
Haemon Antigone quotes by Sophocles
how is a Greek chorus like a lawyer
they're both in the business of searching for a precedent
finding an analogy
locating a prior example
so as to be able to say
this terrible thing we're witnessing now is
not unique you know it happened before
or something much like it
we're not at a loss how to think about this
we're not without guidance
there is a pattern
we can find an historically parallel case
and file it away under
ANTIGONE BURIED ALIVE FRIDAY AFTERNOON
COMPARE CASE HISTORIES 7, 17 AND 49
now I could dig up those case histories
tell you about Danaos and Lykourgos and the sons of Phineus
people locked up in a room or a cave or their own dark mind
it wouldn't help you
it doesn't help me
it's Friday afternoon
there goes Antigone to be buried alive ~ Anne Carson
Haemon Antigone quotes by Anne Carson
What will my happiness be like? What kind of happy woman will Antigone grow into? What base things will she have to do, day after day, in order to snatch her own little scrap of happiness? Tell me – who will she have to lie to? Smile at? Sell herself to? Who will she have to avert her eyes from, and leave to die? ~ Jean Anouilh
Haemon Antigone quotes by Jean Anouilh
Hail the sun! the brightest of all that ever
Dawned on the City of Seven Gates, City of Thebes!
Hail the golden dawn over Dirce's river
Rising to speed the flight of the white invaders
Homeward in full retreat!" - Chorus ~ Sophocles
Haemon Antigone quotes by Sophocles
Alas! How sad when reasoners reason wrong. ~ Sophocles
Haemon Antigone quotes by Sophocles
There is no more deadly peril than disobedience;
States are devoured by it, homes laid in ruins,
Armies defeated, victory turned to rout.
White simple obedience saves the lives of hundreds
Of honest folk." - Creon ~ Sophocles
Haemon Antigone quotes by Sophocles
Upon that foreign soil he chose
Died he! For ever laid
Low, in the kindly shade,
He left behind no tearless grief,
No measured mourning, dull and brief,
These eyes are wet
With weeping yet,
Nor know I how to find relief."

Antigone ~ Sophocles
Haemon Antigone quotes by Sophocles
There's nothing in the world so demoralizing as money. ~ Sophocles
Haemon Antigone quotes by Sophocles
Sophokles is a playwright fascinated in general by people who say no, people who resist compromise, people who make stumbling blocks of themselves, like Antigone or Ajax. ~ Aeschylus
Haemon Antigone quotes by Aeschylus
There was the girl, screaming like an angry bird,
When it finds its nest left empt and little ones gone." - Sentry ~ Sophocles
Haemon Antigone quotes by Sophocles
I believe in prophetic speech . . . still. I believe in Cassandra, I believe in Electra and in the charming Antigone. . . . For me, they're more alive than the [Institute for] Intellectual Cooperation and its choice group of old men. ~ Gabriella Mistral
Haemon Antigone quotes by Gabriella Mistral
Cyrus walked straight to the tallest crack of light, a seam between two doors. They were locked, but they were also thin and old, and they bent a little with pressure from his shoulder.

He backed up.

"Try one of Skelton's keys," said Antigone. "Is there a keyhole?"

"Nope." Cyrus threw himself against the doors. Wood popped, but he bounced back. "I can break it."

"You mean a rib? Maybe your shoulder?" Antigone adjusted her grip, propping Horace in front of her.

"There's just one little bolt," said Cyrus. "And it's set in old wood." He paused. What was he hearing? Voices. Shouting. "You hear that?" he asked.

Antigone nodded. "They don't sound happy."

This time, Cyrus used his foot. The wood splintered, and the two doors wobbled open onto a world of emerald and sunlight. ~ N.D. Wilson
Haemon Antigone quotes by N.D. Wilson
May the dead forgive me, I can do no other
But as I am commanded; to do more is madness." - Ismene ~ Sophocles
Haemon Antigone quotes by Sophocles
Mourning suits us Spanish women.
Tragedy turns us into Antigone - maybe
we are bred for the part. ~ Judith Ortiz Cofer
Haemon Antigone quotes by Judith Ortiz Cofer
I say that this crime is holy. ~ Sophocles
Haemon Antigone quotes by Sophocles
Antigone - as you will see when you read the play - was a woman who wouldn't yield to men. She did what she thought was right. And I admire Antigone a great deal. But the play is largely about pride and what happens when people are stubborn - refuse to bend. It ends in tragedy, as tragedies often do. ~ Matthew Quick
Haemon Antigone quotes by Matthew Quick
Money! Money's the curse of man, none greater.
That's what wrecks cities, banishes men from homes,
Tempts and deludes the most well-meaning soul,
Pointing out the way to infamy and shame." - Creon ~ Sophocles
Haemon Antigone quotes by Sophocles
Poor Antigone. Bury the horses, instead, I tell her.
What will we eat then? she weeps, not knowing weeping isn't what it used to be, not here.
Poor, poor Antigone. ~ Natalie Diaz
Haemon Antigone quotes by Natalie Diaz
I once wrote a book about George Orwell, who might have been my hero if I had heroes, and was upset by his callousness about the burning of churches in Catalonia in 1936. Sophocles showed, well before the rise of monotheism, that Antigone spoke for humanity in her revulsion against desecration. I leave it to the faithful to burn each other's churches and mosques and synagogues, which they can always be relied upon to do. When I go to the mosque, I take off my shoes. When I go to the synagogue, I cover my head. ~ Christopher Hitchens
Haemon Antigone quotes by Christopher Hitchens
Haemon: No city is property of a single man.
Creon: But custom gives possession to the ruler.
Haemon: You'd rule a desert beautifully alone. ~ Sophocles
Haemon Antigone quotes by Sophocles
Why, he was so handsome and brave that no one would ever have suspected that he was bookish! ~ Gerald Morris
Haemon Antigone quotes by Gerald Morris
What greater wound is there than a false friend? ~ Sophocles
Haemon Antigone quotes by Sophocles
The penalty is death: yet hope of gain Hath lured men to their ruin oftentimes. ~ Sophocles
Haemon Antigone quotes by Sophocles
How dreadful it is when the right judge judges wrong! ~ Sophocles
Haemon Antigone quotes by Sophocles
I owe more to the dead, with whom I will spend a much longer time, than I will ever owe to the living. ~ Sophocles
Haemon Antigone quotes by Sophocles
As Antigone said, I am neither a dweller among men nor ghosts. ~ Thomas Hardy
Haemon Antigone quotes by Thomas Hardy
I studied classics, and I find it mystifying that we had Medea and Electra and Antigone and all these amazing characters, and they don't really exist in cinema now. The only person who's really doing it, and he gets loads of criticism for it, is Lars Von Trier. ~ Alice Lowe
Haemon Antigone quotes by Alice Lowe
It is my nature to join in love, not hate. ~ Sophocles
Haemon Antigone quotes by Sophocles
