I want to get 'Finis vitae sed non amoris' as i tattoo. I can see on wikipedia it is a latin phrase - all other references on the net revert to a book called Solaris though??

Does anyone know if this is a true latin phrase, or know where I can find out?

Plus, love is decribed as being 'amor' and 'amoris' - are both correct?

... Just want to make sure its correct before I commit to getting it tattooed!

Thanks!

A lot of accidents ___________ if we are careful enough.
a) could avoid (b) could be avoid (c) could be avoided (d) could be avoiding.

They want you to choose (c) I guess. but even (c) does not sound right. I am thinking of "can be avoided" or "could have been avoided" . Because the last part of the sentence is "...ARE careful enough". So what is the rule (if any) about mixing tenses. like present and past. / past participle.

jeezz . why does English have so many tenses and rule. and exeptions on the rules. I have no idea why it is the most spoken language in the world.
