Quotes by Euripides

“A goddess not inglorious in the skies Is Venus... O sovereign, sea-born Venus... Never with wild ungovern'd sway Rush on my heart, and force it to obey: For not the light'ning's fire, Nor stars swift-darting through the sky, Equal the shafts sent by this son of Jove, When his hand gives them force to fly, Kindling the flames of love.”

“We humans seem disastrously in love with this thing (whatever it is) that glitters on the earth— we call it life. We know no other.”
