Beauty awakens the soul to act. Consider your origins: you were not made to live as brutes, but to follow virtue and knowledge. The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who, in times of great moral crisis, maintain their neutrality. The wisest are the most annoyed at the loss of time.
There is no greater sorrow
Than to recall a happy time
