"Note too that a faithful study of the liberal arts humanizes character and permits it not to be cruel."
"Chance is always powerful. Let your hook be always cast; in the pool where you least expect it, there will be a fish."
"By the slow process of time, the hardest things are softened."
About Ovid (43 BCE - 17/18 CE)
Roman poet whose Metamorphoses (8 CE) is the longest surviving Latin poem and Western literature's main pagan-mythology source. Closely associated with Virgil (the Aeneid poet and other Augustan poetic giant) and Horace (third Augustan-era major poet). For an intellectual contrast, see Augustus, Roman emperor (27 BCE – 14 CE) — Augustus exiled Ovid to Tomis on the Black Sea in 8 CE, reasons tied to his erotic poetry (Ars Amatoria) and possible knowledge of imperial-family scandal — Augustus represented Roman moral-restoration politics that Ovid's witty erotic verse was structurally against.
