Ubi idem et maximus et honestissimus amor est, aliquando praestat morte jungi, quam vita distrahi → Where indeed the greatest and most honourable love exists, it is much better to be joined by death, than separated by life.

Valerius Maximus, De Factis Dictisque

Latin > English (Lewis & Short)

rēstinctio: ōnis, f. restinguo,
I a quenching (of thirst): voluptas ipsius retinctionis in motu est (after restincta siti), Cic. Fin. 2, 3, 9.
