Lucretius
Truths kindle light for truths.
Lucretius
Death is nothing to us, it matters not one jot, since the nature of the mind is understood to be mortal.
Lucretius
To ask for power is forcing uphill a stone which after all rolls back again from the summit and seeks in headlong haste the levels of the plain.
Lucretius
