You jutting broken crags, to you I raise my cry-
There is no one else I can speak to.
-SophoclesFair warning: this quote isn't half as powerful in context, because it's basically the character of Philoctetes moaning over the theft of his magic bow. But it's still a wonderful line, and proves the power of Sophocles, who was a master of the Greek drama. Don't stop at Antigone and Oedipus. Like Shakespeare, he's more than just a few good plays.
