"As wave is driven by wave. And each, pursued, pursues the wave ahead, So time flies on and follows, flies, and follows, Always, for ever and new. What was before. Is left behind; what never was is now…"

"The man who has experienced the most will be the wisest."

"The wounds of love can only be cured by him who inflicted them."

"Beauty's a fragile boon, and the years are quick to destroy it, Always diminished with time, never enduring too long."

"The gods behold all things."
