Human life lay foul before men's eyes, crushed to the dust beneath religion's weight.
Lucretius

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.
Lucretius
