Then there is the usual scene when lovers are excited with each other, quarrels, entreaties, reproaches, and then fondling reconcilement.
Tum, ut adsolet in amore et ira, jurgia, preces, exprobrutio, satisfactio.

More quotes by Tacitus
It is the rare fortune of these days that one may think what one likes and say what one thinks.
Our magistrates discharge their duties best at the beginning; and fall off toward the end.
A woman after having parted with her virtue will hesitate at nothing.
You may also like
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.
