“Love yields to business. If you seek a way out of love, be busy; you'll be safe then.”

— Ovid, Remedia Amoris, 143–144

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 looks not with the eyes, but with the mind, and therefore is winged Cupid painted blind.”

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

“Love the little trade which thou hast learned, and be content therewith.”

“Not to display anger or other emotions. To be free of passion and yet full of love.”

“I call upon you, young men, to obey your heart, and be the nobility of this land.”
