Human life lay foul before men's eyes, crushed to the dust beneath religion's weight.
Lucretius
Image
You may complete as many generations as you please during your life none the less will that everlasting death await you.
Lucretius

From the midst of the very fountain of pleasure, something of bitterness arises to vex us in the flower of enjoyment.
Lucretius

It's easier to avoid the snares of love than to escape once you are in that net.
Lucretius

Time changes the nature of the whole world Everything passes from one state to another And nothing stays like itself.
Lucretius

Men are eager to tread underfoot what they have once too much feared.

What once sprung from the earth sinks back into the earth.
Lucretius
Image
Even if I knew nothing of the atoms, I would venture to assert on the evidence of the celestial phenomena themselves, supported by many other arguments, that the universe was certainly not created for us by divine power: it is so full of imperfections.
Lucretius

Violence and wrong enclose all who commit them in their meshes and do mostly recoil on him from whom they begin.
Lucretius
Image
Lucretius, who follows [Epicurus] in denouncing love, sees no harm in sexual intercourse provided it is divorced from passion.
Lucretius
Image
I prove the supreme law of Gods and sky, And the primordial germs of things unfold, Whence Nature all creates, and multiplies And fosters all, and whither she resolves Each in the end when each is overthrown. This ultimate stock we have devised to name Procreant atoms, matter, seeds of things, Or primal bodies, as primal to the world.
Lucretius
Image
Men conceal the past scenes of their lives.
Lucretius
Image
Victory puts us on a level with heaven.
Lucretius
Image
... deprived of pain, and also deprived of danger, able to do what it wants, [Nature] does not need us, nor understands our deserts, and it cannot be angry.
Lucretius
