After such an abundance of deep, subtle, and ironic sayings about love it is hard to add anything. Let me remind you only that the men of the Roman Empire were the first in our history to encounter such a phenomenon as the phenomenon of female emancipation.which reached the extent and manifestations of the current female emancipation. In this connection we can sincerely sympathize with them. Although, in some ways, I envy it.

A certain irony of the story lies in the fact that, judging by the queries in the search engines, the greatest interest in the phrases in Latin about love is shown by those who are going to to get a tattoo (tattoo). However, perhaps this should be seen as one of the modern ways of embracing classical culture. I don't think it would have been better if a quote from Ovid in Latin had been replaced with something simpler in Russian (like "Vasya was here").
