More quotes by Luis de Góngora

The hours will hardly forgive you, those hours that are wearing away the days, those days that are gnawing away the years.

Life is a wounded stag in whom the fast-stuck arrows function as wings.

Longer than a winter's night for a man who is ill-wed.

Let me go warm and merry still;
And let the world laugh, an' it will.

Let merchants traverse seas and lands,
For silver mines and golden sands;
Whilst I beside some shadowy rill,
Just where its bubbling fountain swells,
Do sit and gather stones and shells,
And hear the tale the blackbird tells.

And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.

Bertrand Russell Marriage and Morals (1929)

Not for the body, but for the heart; companion and company are needed.

Sanu Sharma

Love seldom haunts the breast where learning lies,
And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
