“Your worst sin is that you have destroyed and betrayed yourself for nothing.”
― Fyodor Dostoevsky, Crime and Punishment

“Now I have finished my work, which nothing can ever destroy - not Jupiter's wrath, nor fire or sword, nor devouring time. That day which has power over nothing except this body of mine may come when it will and end the uncertain span of my life. But the finer part of myself shall sweep into eternity, higher than all of the stars. My name shall never be forgotten. Where-ever the might of Rome extends in the lands she has conquered, the people shall read and recite my words. Throughout all ages, if poets have vision to prophecy truth, I shall live in my fame.”
― Ovid, Metamorphoses

“what we have been, or now are, we shall not be tomorrow”
― Ovid, Metamorphoses

“Around the hero everything becomes a tragedy; around the demigod everything becomes a satyr-play; and around God everything becomes — what? perhaps a 'world'?”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, The Birth of Tragedy
