Stop wishing to merit anyone's gratitude or thinking that anyone can become grateful.

It is difficult to suddenly give up a long love. Difficile est longum subito deponere amorem

The vows that woman makes to her fond lover are only fit to be written on air or on the swiftly passing stream.

Oh, this age! How tasteless and ill bred it is!

I hate and I love, and who can tell me why?

I hate and I love. And if you ask me how, I do not know: I only feel it, and I am torn in two.

It is difficult to lay aside a confirmed passion.
