    “Pain and foolishness lead to great bliss and complete knowledge‚ for Eternal Wisdom created nothing under the sun in vain.” This quote is by Khalil Gibran‚ and the meaning behind this quote is very powerful and relates a lot to Oedipus Rex in the idea that people do indeed gain knowledge through the grief and suffering pain experienced in life.
