Euripides Quotes

"Love distills desire upon the eyes, love brings bewitching grace into the heart." — Euripides
Hippolytus lines 525-529 This quote is spoken of by the Chorus of the play, which here was made up of married women. They are here speaking of the sometimes overwhelming power of love. The lines continue, "...of those he would destroy. I pray that love may never come to me with murderous intent." While shocking, the quote displays how much power love has over us.
