Fernando de Rojas

“O world, world when I was younger I thought there was some order governing you and your deeds. But now you seem to be a labyrinth of errors, a frightful desert, a den of wild beasts, a game in which men move in circles…a stony field, a meadow full of serpents, a flowering but barren orchard, a spring of cares, a river of tears, a sea of suffering, a vain hope.”
― Fernando De Rojas, La Celestina

“Pero bien sé que sobí para decender, florescí para secarme, gozé para entristecerme, nascí para biuir, biuí para crecer, crecí para enuejecer, enuejecí para morirme.”
― Fernando de Rojas, La Celestina
