OK, I'm going off my mass latin and my knowledge of the romance languages. I'm coming up with "Love is rare , Hold your morals dear." ...maybe...?cskirball wrote:In the first one she flashed somthing about a school motto that said "diligo est lex, diligo sub mos" .

I got something like 'value highly the law, value highly under will', but that's from an online translator. It's never good to place faith on those pieces of junk!

It's hard to say what it is, because in Latin, there are marks over some (usually only) vowels called macrons, much like the spanish mark over the n. It changes the pronuncation, and in some cases, the word meaning. For example, hic means 'this', but the same word with a macron over the i means 'here'. I'm no genius in latin, but I do have my textbook from class, and about 2 semesters of knowledge.vegetarian_ham wrote:I got something like 'value highly the law, value highly under will', but that's from an online translator.

Also, we don't know if this is Latin or Latin Vulgate. If it's the vulgate, we have a problem with clouded meaning. It only has 500 words in it's vocabulary. That leads to huge confusion out of context.Aponi wrote:It's hard to say what it is, because in Latin, there are marks over some (usually only) vowels called macrons, much like the spanish mark over the n.

What I got from this (I love is law, I love under custom) doesn't really make any sense. So, my advice, someone ask her what it means, cause I got nothing :-p
I was thinking about this quote while I was watching the most recent "flowersonmyhat" video, and I agree that many of these Hymn of One mothers seem fanatically Puritan. And I can see the similarities to the Bree storyline, but I think this girl is different enough that she can distinguish herself as a new and different character if she were to become canon. For example, she was enthusiastic about going to the banquet with Jake because she's attracted to him. Bree hasn't confessed an infatuation toward any boy.Lurker wrote:I liked this one a lot. A whole lot, actually. Good actor, and she's comfortable in front of the camera. Didn't really seem like she was acting. It was quite natural.
I'd totally be cool with her being the New Girl. She's got similarities to Bree, but she still seems like a very different person.
One thing I will say, though, is this: What's with all these girls having fucked up bitches for mothers? "You can't go out with boys because it violates our beliefs"? What does that make her? Jesus.
