Sarah,
After reading Crystal's (#17) and Susan's (#19) posts, I think maybe I owe you an apology. I didn't sleep well after my post to you yesterday, and even thought about yanking it, I truly did. :o
However, sitting here en fenmme and typing this to you now, I meant every bit of what I wrote, "...as the saying goes, 'Omnia Vincit Amor....' (Love Conquers All)." Because of the way I feel right now about CDing, I can only wish that something like that would have been 'forced" on me at such a young age? :daydreaming: Not very likely, though, being the oldest and only boy with 4 younger sisters. Neba Hatchi, GI! :D
As it is, I am such a late bloomer in this CD thing, and as such, acknowledge freely that I have so very much to learn, and girl, am I ever learning, and so will you. :battingeyelashes:
And since I now "love 'IT' so," as it was with the olden days of black and white TV in a favorite series, "The Naked City," the announcer used to sign off with, "There are 8 million stories in the Naked City... this has been one of them."
Bless you, sweetheart, I'm sorry I doubted you! Long life, happy life!
XOXO, M.

Re: amor vincit omnia vs. omnia vincit amor.
"Both are acceptable and mean the same thing, although there could be a slight difference in emphasis. Actually you can put the three words in any of the 6 possible orders and it would still be alright. So on that level, you can pick which one you like. If this though is a reference to Virgil, he used 'omnia vincit Amor'." - remosfan, Senior Member, WordReference.com (Language Forums (http://forum.wordreference.com/showthread.php?t=38212))
"They are both correct." - Outsider, Senior Member, WordReference.com (Language Forums), ibid.
And so it goes, Anna, quite a discussion was carried on about this very topic on WordReference.com (Language Forums). However, Anna, you get one vote from, el flaco, Junior Member, WordReference.com (Language Forums), ibid., who writes:
"Omnia vincit Amor, originally appeared in Eclogue X of the Eclogues, a series of poems by Virgil (70 BC - 19 BC).
“Amor Vincit Omnia, [is] a painting by the Baroque artist Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio.
"This should be where the Amor Vincit Omnia version was 'first' used.
“To me, Amor Vincit Omnia looks like the correct version, because of the direct translation match: Love Conquers All." "touché!" Anna. :thumbsup:
Hugs, M.
