"We always strive after what is forbidden, and desire the things refused us."

"Omnia mutantur, nihil interit (everything changes, nothing perishes)."

"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…"

"To put it briefly, we possess nothing that isn't mortal, except the benefits of the heart and the mind."

"Love is a kind of warfare."
