"Ex aspectu hominibus nascitur amor".

Do you know the proverb?

I think you should change:
Ex oculis amor nascitur -->"Ex aspectu nascitur amor" or "Ex aspectu amor nascitur".

"Olhos", in the original, means "eyes", so I sticked to a litteral translation.

Yes I know. But I wouldn't translate proverbs literally, because they function in different versions in various languages...
What do you think?

Aneta,

The same requester (carol petter) has submitted "Ex aspectu amor nascitur" to be translated into Brazilian Portuguese, which I've done as "O amor nasce pelo olhar" ("Love is born by looking".

She also submitted several other variants of the same, to be translated from and into Latin. This makes me think she is looking for different answers.
