Additional quotes by Ovid

Ants never head for an empty granary:
no friends gather round when your wealth is gone.

Thence are we a hardy generation, and able to endure fatigue, and we give proofs from what original we are sprung.

or that writing a poem you can read to no one
is like dancing in the dark.
