Quoted By:
43 BC–18 AD: Ovid
>"A chaste woman is one who has not been propositioned."
>"[A woman] is constant only in her inconstancy."
>"Thus neither with thee [woman] nor without thee, can I live."
>"Many women long for what eludes them, and like not what is offered them."
> "A virgin princess shared his room, but what escaped her, revealed itself at last as male: he raped her. So yes, it’s true that she was conquered by brute force, but that’s what she’d been wishing for, of course."
- (Ovid, The Art of Love)
>"“Girls praise a poem, but go for expensive presents. Any illiterate oaf can catch their eye provided he’s rich. Today is truly the Golden Age: gold buys honor, gold procures love.”
