“Death is softer by far than tyranny.”
― Aeschylus

“Tame the savageness of man and make gentle the life of this world.”
― Aeschylus

“Wisdom comes through suffering.
Trouble, with its memories of pain,
Drips in our hearts as we try to sleep,
So men against their will
Learn to practice moderation.
Favours come to us from gods.”
― Aeschylus, Agamemnon

“For somehow this is tyranny's disease, to trust no friends.”
― Aeschylus, Prometheus Bound
