Quotes by Giovan Battista Marini

"

The purpose of art is to create wonder.

"

Often, the slave, senile state / with ice-in her veins, the poor bones, from the last sweet indolence / she hates everything she can't do. / The unloved casts slander / on the night of love flowing in peace; / and the pleasure that is not given to him / in another is immediately condemned.
