A hundred motives compel me to be always in love.
Publius Ovidius Naso /

love

Time itself flows on in constant motion, just like a river. For neither the river nor the swift hour can stop its course; but, as wave is pushed on by wave, and as each wave is both impelled by that behind and itself impels the wave in front, so time both flees and follows and is ever new. For that which once existed is no more, and that which was not has come to be; and so the whole round of motion is gone through again.
Publius Ovidius Naso - Metamorphoses /

Stones are hollowed out by the constant dropping of water.
Publius Ovidius Naso /
