"Philoctetes asks the old question, 'How justify the ways of Heaven, finding Heaven unjust?' Sophocles answers hopefully that though the moral order of the world may be too subtle for us to understand it, it is there, and right will triumph in the end...Like a good Victorian he is uncertain of his theology, but strong in his moral faith" (398).

"[In the Oresteia] is a breadth of conception, a unity of thought...a power of dramatic development, an understanding of character, & a splendor of style which in their sum we shall not find again before Shakespeare...these chorals are supreme in their kind, full of grandeur & tenderness, eloquent with their plea for a new religion of forgiveness, & for the virtues of a political order that was passing away" (390).

آرکسیلائوس می نویسد:
هیچ چیز مسلم نیست، حتی خود این مطلب.
وقتی به او گفتند که چنین مکتبی زندگی را غیرممکن می کند، جواب داد:
زندگی مدت ها توانسته است با احتمالات سر کند.

یونان به شرق فلسفه داد، و شرق به یونان مذهب. مذهب در این میان فاتح شد، زیرا فلسفه تجملی بود برای عده ای معدود، در حالی که مذهب تسلای خاطر عده ای فراوان بود. مذهب به قدرت بازگشت، زیرا به درماندگی و تنهایی نهانی بشر پی برد و به او الهام و شعر بخشید; و دنیاي سرخورده، استثمار شده، و خسته از جنگ با خوشحالی آن را پذیرفت تا امید از دست رفته را بازیابد. نامنتظرترین و عمیق ترین اثر فتح اسکندر، شرق گرایی روح اروپا بود.

پس از اسکندر، خواص فرهنگ یونانی در روح شرقی نفوذ نکرد؛ تازه طلبی، اشتیاق به مادیت، تمایل به کمال، و استقلال فردی یونانی تغییري در خواص شرقی ها ایجاد ننمود. برعکس، با گذشت زمان، نحوه اندیشه و احساس شرقی به قشر یونانیان حاکم نفوذ کرد، و به توسط آنها به مغرب رفت و دنیاي کفار را تغییر شکل داد. سلطنت استبدادی شرقی نشان داد که از دموکراسی یونانی نیرومندتر است و بالاخره شکل خود را
به دنیاي مغرب زمین نیز تحمیل کرد.

اصلِ اساسیِ دموکراسی، آزادی است که ممکن است به هرج و مرج منتهی شود. اصلِ اساسیِ حکومتِ سلطنتی، قدرت است که ممکن است به ظلم و انقلاب و جنگ منتهی گردد.

"Pindar was not popular in his lifetime, and for some centuries yet he will continue to enjoy the lifeless immortality of those writers whom all men praise and no one reads. While the world was moving forward he asked it to sand still and it left him so far behind that though younger than Aeschylus he seems older than Alcman" (377).

"...the profoundest question that ethics can ask: is a natural ethic possible? Can morality survive without supernatural belief? Can philosophy, by molding an effective secular moral code, save the civilization which its freedom of thought has threatened to destroy? (372).
