Go then if you must, but remember, no matter how foolish your deeds, those who love you will love you still.

τοῖς πᾶσι κοινόν ἐστι τοὐξαμαρτάνειν: ἐπεὶ δ᾽ ἁμάρτῃ, κεῖνος οὐκέτ᾽ ἔστ᾽ ἀνὴρ ἄβουλος οὐδ᾽ ἄνολβος, ὅστις ἐς κακὸν πεσὼν ἀκῆται μηδ᾽ ἀκίνητος πέλῃ.

All my love gone for nothing. Days of my love, years of my love.
