« All quotes from this author
 

Difficilis facilis iucundus acerbus es idem:
Nec tecum possum vivere nec sine te.
--
Captious, yet complaisant, sweet and bitter too, I cannot with thee live, nor yet without thee.
--
XII, 47, reported in Dictionary of Quotations (Classical) (1906), p. 271.
--
Difficult or easy, pleasant or bitter, you are the same you: I cannot live with you — or without you.
--
Difficult easy-going, likewise you are sweet [and] sour: I am able to live neither with you nor without you.

Errantes silva in magna et sub luce maligna
inter harundineasque comas gravidumque papaver
et tacitos sine labe lacus, sine murmure rivos,
quorum per ripas nebuloso lumine marcent
fleti, olim regum et puerorum nomina, flores.
