Sappho

"She danced away from me as the sun retreats from the advancing night."

"If wisdom were gold, most would remain poor, for few seek what cannot be spent."

"The dawn breaks with the same indifference whether we greet it with tears or laughter."

"We build temples to the gods, but the truest temple is the human heart."

"Even gods must bow to the power of love; we mortals stand no chance against it."

"She was to me what the sun is to the flowers—necessary and taken for granted until she was gone."

"The greatest adventures are not found in distant lands but in the depths of another's eyes."

"Death comes for all, yet in this moment, I am alive, and that is enough."
