Quotes
I hate and I love. How can I do that, you may ask?
Let us live and let us love, and not give a damn for the gossip of old men!
I will not say that I will never be yours, but not now; not yet.
I scorn you and I love you; how can I do both?
I hate you and I love you. Perhaps you ask why I do this?
I loved you, Lesbia, and my love for you was deeper than what one could estimate.
The sun may set and rise again; but once our brief light sets, there is just one perpetual night for us.
Sparrows, Lesbia, are the most cherished creatures for you and your girl. The reason? Because they are always ready for love.
I wish to kiss you, my dear girl, a thousand times.
To me, nothing is more bitter than you.
