It's easier to avoid the snares of love than to escape once you are in that net.
Lucretius
Image
Thus the sum Forever is replenished, and we live As mortals by eternal give and take. The nations wax, the nations wane away In a brief space the generations pass, And like to runners hand the lamp of life One unto other.
Lucretius
Image
Meantime, when once we know from nothing still Nothing can be create, we shall divine More clearly what we seek: those elements From which alone all things created are, And how accomplished by no tool of Gods.
Lucretius
Image
Rest, brother, rest. Have you done ill or well Rest, rest, There is no God, no gods who dwell Crowned with avenging righteousness on high Nor frowning ministers of their hate in hell.

Lucretius
Image
...if one thing frightens people, it is that so much happens, on earth and out in space, the reasons for which seem somehow to escape them, and they fill in the gap by putting it down to the gods.
Lucretius
Image
Men conceal the past scenes of their lives.
Lucretius
Image
So much wrong could religion induce.
Lucretius
Image
The highest summits and those elevated above the level of other things are mostly blasted by envy as by a thunderbolt.
Lucretius
Image
All life is a struggle in the dark.
Lucretius
Image
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
Image
Thus, then, the All that is is limited In no one region of its onward paths, For then 'tmust have forever its beyond.
Lucretius
Image
And life is given to none freehold, but it is leasehold for all.
Lucretius
