Any time not spent in love is wasted.

More from Torquato Tasso (1790)

• Daring ideas are like chessmen moved forward; they may be defeated, but they start a winning game.
• Many hammer all over the wall and believe that with each blow they hit the nail on the head.
• The world is so full of simpletons and madmen, that one need not seek them in a madhouse.
• To act is easy; to think is hard.
