Love and dignity cannot share the same abode. - Ovid

"Fortune and love favor the brave."

"Art lies by its own artifice."

"All love is vanquished by a succeeding love."

"Saepe creat molles aspera spina rosas"- "Often the prickly thorn produces tender roses"

"I am the poet of the poor, because I was poor when I loved; since I could not give gifts, I gave words."
