📜 myth & memory

Some say that the most beautiful thing on this dark earth is a host of horsemen, others that it is an army of foot-soldiers, and others that it is a fleet of ships; But, I say it is what you love.

— Sappho
For as children tremble and fear everything in the blind darkness, so we in the light sometimes fear what is no more to be feared than the things children in the dark hold in terror and imagine will come true.

— Lucretius
Love does not occur only in the human soul; it is not simply the attraction we feel toward human beauty: it is a significantly broader phenomenon. It certainly occurs within the animal kingdom, and even in the world of plants. In fact, it occurs everywhere in the universe.

— Eryximachus, Plato’s Symposium
