Quid rides? Mutato nomine de te fabula narratur ;)
Melpomene · 22-25, F
@DanielChristensen Omg is that Horatius? (I'm not sure about his name in English and I might be very wrong)

@Melpomene Horace yes from Ovid. It's my favorite latin phrase. It reminds us that we're all living a flawed human existence and should stay humble and kind
Melpomene · 22-25, F
@DanielChristensen It is truly beautiful.
My favourite is Catullus' 85th poem, being an emotional fool (Odi et amo. Quare id faciam fortasse requiris. Nescio, sed fieri sentio et excrucior)

@Melpomene Oh yes.
"I hate and I love. Why do I do this, perhaps you ask.
I do not know, but I feel it and I am tortured."
Beautifully succinct. Also sums up the human condition
