Words (Between the Lines of Age)
"To think a flower is to see and smell it, And to eat a fruit is to know its meaning."
Fernando Pessoa,
"Do the gods light this fire in our hearts or does each man's mad desire become his god?"
Virgil, Aeneid
Marcel Proust, Remembrance of Things Past
"This is the way the gods ordained the destiny of men, to bear such burdens in our lives, while they feel no affliction."
Homer, The Iliad
