193 Quotes by Sappho

I know not what to do, my mind is divided

Whatever one loves most is beautiful.

You may forget but let me tell you this: someone in some future time will think of us

What cannot be said will be wept.

When I look on you a moment, then I can speak no more, but my tongue falls silent, and at once a delicate flame courses beneath my skin, and with my eyes I see nothing, and my ears hum, and a wet sweat bathes me and a trembling seizes me all over.

Although only breath, words which I command are immortal.

May I write words more naked than flesh, stronger than bone, more resilient than sinew, sensitive than nerve.

Eros shook my mind like a mountain wind falling on oak trees.

Someone, I tell you, in another time will remember us.
