Ars longa, vita brevis

A group member in True Gods of Sound and Stone suggested that this quotation relates to the copyright issues.

Ars longa, vita brevis is part of an aphorism by Ancient Greek physician Hippocrates.


from Aphorisms, section I, no. 1; rendered in Latin as

Ars longa, vita brevis, occasio praeceps, experimentum periculosum, iudicium difficile.

This is often rendered in English as

Life is short, [the] art long, opportunity fleeting, experiment treacherous, judgment difficult.
