Beautiful Quote
"Fear? What should a man fear? It’s all chance, chance rules our lives. Not a man on earth can see a day ahead, groping through the dark. Better to live at random, best we can. And as for this marriage with your mother—have no fear. Many a man before you, in his dreams, has shared his mother’s bed. Take such things for shadows, nothing at all— Live, Oedipus, as if there’s no tomorrow!"
I chose this quote because it is full of irony. By Jocasta saying that "chance rules our lives" and that Oedipus should "live like there's no tomorrow" it shows irony compared to situations throughout the story. If it was true that everyone's actions should be random and that they believed chance ruled their lives, then many of the situations that did happen wouldn't have.
