Quote Of The Week #54

I was reading some Michel de Montaigne, who quotes Ovid at some point:
Scilicet ultima semper exspectanda dies homini est;

(We should all look forward to our last day;
no one can be called happy till he is dead and buried.)
Quote Of The Week, QOTW

She recalls the bird said: “You be good. I love you.” She responded, “I love you, too.” The bird said, “You’ll be in tomorrow,” and she responded, “Yes, I’ll be in tomorrow.”
