How freakin' bad do I want this thing? It's the brand new hotness!
To be perfectly honest, the only play I've read of Sophocles' is Antigone, since that was the only play we were required to read.
The last lines of AntigoneCHORUS: Where wisdom is, there happiness will crown A piety that nothing will corrode But high and mighty words and ways Are flogged to humbleness, till age, Beaten to its knees, at last is wise.
