Original text (Spanish)
For companionship in woes gives alleviation, even though it be that of an enemy.
For in a firm mind there is always found an unchanged countenance for good and evil.
As the day sinks cool and fresh into the tomb, to be the guest of the sea-god, good-night to you.
All Pedro Calderón de la Barca quotes →
Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.
To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.
Not for the body, but for the heart; companion and company are needed.
Love seldom haunts the breast where learning lies,
And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
