Phaedra keeps saying she's being selfish. That she hates herself for it, but she does it anyway. She can't deny herself what she wants, even if it brings about her downfall and his." "And have you learned anything from our literary parallel?" "Not really, I keep thinking that she would do it all over again if there were a chance..a chance that it could go right. Even if 99 times out of a 100 the story ends badly, it's worth it if only once she gets a happy ending. .Cora Carmack
About This Quote
Although this quote does not directly refer to love, it does refer to the idea of sacrifice. On the other hand, "love" is not meant to be put in the same category as "nevertheless." The quotation does not indicate that she hates herself or that she would do anything to get what she wants, but rather that she will still go through with her plans because things could go well. We all know that there are some things we can never change, but there are also many things we should change if only for the sake of our own happiness.
