Affectionate Heart

More by Ovid

Every woman thinks herself attractive; even the plainest is satisfied with the charms she deems that she possesses.

Suppressed grief suffocates, it rages within the breast, and is forced to multiply its strength.

Honesty, by evil fortune tried, Finds in adversity the seed of praise.

It is some alleviation to ills we cannot cure to speak of them.

A mind conscious of right laughs at the falsehoods of rumour. [Lat., Conscia mens recti famae mendacia risit.]

Time is generally the best doctor.

It is convenient that there be gods, and, as it is convenient, let us believe there are.

I hate a woman who offers herself because she ought to do so, and cold and dry thinks of her sewing when making love.

The sea's vast depths lie open to the fish; Wherever the breezes blow the bird may fly; So to the brave man every land's a home.

Rare is the virtue that's not ruled by Fortune, That stands unshaken even when Fortune flees.

Thus all things altered. Nothing dies. And here and there the unbodied spirit flies.

How little is the promise of the child fulfilled in the man.

The fondness, the endearment, the unstintingly affectionate regard of God toward all…

If I do manage to come up with a scheme [to naming], however, I stick to it, which is why my cats are named after gods-Loki and Athena, who are, respectively, absolutely straightforward and affectionate, and dumber than dirt.
