Lucretius
By protracting life, we do not deduct one jot from the duration of death.
Lucretius
There is nothing that exists so great or marvelous that over time mankind does not admire it less and less.
Lucretius
The fall of dropping water wears away the Stone.
Lucretius
Nature obliges everything to change about. One thing crumbles and falls in the weakness of age Another grows in its place from a negligible start. So time alters the whole nature of the world And earth passes from one state to another.
Lucretius
I own with reason: for, if men but knew Some fixed end to ills, they would be strong By some device unconquered to withstand Religions and the menacings of seers.
Lucretius
All life is a struggle in the dark.
Lucretius

Lucretius

Gently touching with the charm of poetry.
Lucretius
From the very fountain of enchantment there arises a taste of bitterness to spread anguish amongst the flowers.
Lucretius
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
Lucretius, who follows [Epicurus] in denouncing love, sees no harm in sexual intercourse provided it is divorced from passion.
Lucretius
The old must always make way for the new, and one thing must be built out of the ruins of another. There is no murky pit of hell awaiting anyone.
Lucretius
These [the senses] we trust, first, last, and always.
Lucretius
... 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
All things around, convulsed with violent thunder, seem to tremble, and the mighty walls of the capacious world appear at once to have started and burst asunder.
Lucretius
