Quotes11

  • Edipo: I shall avenge the slain King as if he were my father, now that his power has passed to me, and his possessions and his wife are mine.
  • Edipo: How can we find the murderer? Where can we find the traces of a crime which took place so long ago?
  • Creonte: Here, the god said. Here. And he added, "What we don't want to know does not exist, but what we want to know - exist."
  • Edipo: I know how much you suffer, but no one suffers more than me, because your sorrow touches each of you only personally, while mine is the sorrow of all, mine and yours.
  • Edipo: You have not awakened me. I was not sleeping. I was crying, seeking a thousand possible ways to escape.
  • Giocasta: If God reveals to us his intentions, He does it without ambiguity or intermediaries.
  • Edipo: If you knew how much those words of yours scare me.
  • Edipo: What did Laius look like? How old was he?
  • Giocasta: Tall, with a long beard. Not very different from you.
  • Edipo: I decided to go to the shrine of Apollo. But the God not only did not answer my questions, he actually revealed other frightful things to me! He said it was destined that I would make love to my mother and that I would beget monstrous children with her!
  • Edipo: Everything is clear now, deliberate and not imposed by destiny.
  • Edipo: Impure things must be kept silent! Nor spoken of, not witnessed. Silent!
  • Sphinx: It's useless, son.
  • Edipo: I don't want to see you, I don't want to hear you!
  • Sphinx: It's useless. The abyss into which you're thrusting me is within you.
  • Sphinx: There's an enigma in your life. What is it?
  • Edipo: I don't know. I don't want to know.
