The quarrels of lovers are the renewal of love.
"Publius Terentius Afer", better known in English language/English as "Terence" (), was a playwright of the Roman Republic, of North African descent. His comedies were performed for the first time around 170–160 BC. Terentius Lucanus, a Roman Roman Senate/senator, brought Terence to Rome as a slave, educated him and later on, impressed by his abilities, manumission/freed him. Terence apparently died young, probably in Greece or on his way back to Rome. All of the six plays Terence wrote have survived.
One famous quotation by Terence reads: "Homo sum, humani nihil a me alienum puto", or "I am a human being, I consider nothing that is human alien to me." This appeared in his play Heauton Timorumenos.
