Additional quotes by Catullus

Huc est mens deducta tua mea, Lesbia, culpa
atque ita se officio perdidit ipsa suo,
ut iam nec bene velle queat tibi, si optima fias,
nec desistere amare, omnia si facias.

insperanti, hoc est gratum animo proprie.

Odi et amo. quare id faciam, fortasse requiris. nescio, sed fieri sentio et excrucior.
