About Ovid

Roman poet, author of the 'Metamorphoses' and 'Tristia'.

“Suppressed grief suffocates, it rages within the breast, and is forced to multiply its strength.”

“Time, in its stealthy gliding, cheats us all without our notice; nothing goes more swiftly than do the years.”

“Thanks are justly due for things got without purchase.”

“Love is the ultimate and the highest goal to which man can aspire.”

“I don't know about hope, but I do know about love.”

“If music be the food of love, play on.”

“Give all to love; obey thy heart.”

“You can't depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus.”

“What is done out of love always takes place beyond good and evil.”
