Additional quotes by Catullus

Ah, what is more blessed than to put cares away, when the mind lays by its burden, and tired with labour of far travel we have come to our own home and rest on the couch we longed for? This it is which alone is worth all these toils.

I hate and love. Why I do so, perhaps you ask. I know not, but I feel it, and I am in torment.

You ask how many kissings of you, Lesbia, are enough for me and more than enough?
