"The gods have woven misery into mortal lives, that there might be songs for men to come."

"Not to have been born is best, but if one has seen the light of day, the next best thing is to return as quickly as possible to where he came from."

"Any moment might be our last. Everything is more beautiful because we're doomed."

"The minds of the everlasting gods are not changed suddenly."

"There is a time for many words, and there is also a time for sleep."
