One Man's food is another Man's Poison
Lucretius

From the midst of the very fountain of pleasure, something of bitterness arises to vex us in the flower of enjoyment.
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
Image
The fall of dropping water wears away the Stone.
Lucretius
Image
The mind like a sick body can be healed and changed by medicine.
