Lucretius Quotes

One thing is made of another, and nature allows no new creation except at the price of death Picture Quote #1

... we in the light sometimes fear what is no more to be feared than the things children in the dark hold in terror and imagine will come true Picture Quote #1

Under what law each thing was created, and how necessary it is for it to continue under this, and how it cannot annul the strong rules that govern its lifetime Picture Quote #1

So it is more useful to watch a man in times of peril, and in adversity to discern what kind of man he is; for then at last words of truth are drawn from the depths of his heart, and the mask is torn off, reality remains Picture Quote #1

For fools admire and love those things they see hidden in verses turned all upside down, and take for truth what sweetly strokes the ears and comes with sound of phrases fine imbued Picture Quote #1

It’s easier to avoid the snares of love than to escape once you are in that net whose cords and knots are strong; but even so, enmeshed, entangled, you can still get out unless, poor fool, you stand in your own way Picture Quote #1

The nature of the universe has by no means been made through divine power, seeing how great are the faults that mar it Picture Quote #1

There is nothing that exists so great or marvelous that over time mankind does not admire it less and less Picture Quote #1

At this stage you must admit that whatever is seen to be sentient is nevertheless composed of atoms that are insentient. The phenomena open to our observation so not contradict this conclusion or conflict with it. Rather they lead us by the hand and compel us to believe that the animate is born, as I maintain, of the insentient Picture Quote #1

Why shed tears that you must die? For if your past life has been one of enjoyment, and if all your pleasures have not passed through your mind, as through a sieve, and vanished, leaving not a rack behind, why then do you not, like a thankful guest, rise cheerfully from life’s feast, and with a quiet mind go take your rest Picture Quote #1
