If God can do anything he can make a stone so heavy that even he can’t lift it. Then there is something God cannot do, he cannot lift the stone. Therefore God does not exist.

Lucretius

If the matter of death is reduced to sleep and rest, what can there be so bitter in it, that any one should pine in eternal grief for the decease of a friend?
LUCRETIUS

Anand Thakur
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

Avoid Easy Fools Knot Love Stand Way Yourself
From the heart of this fountain of delights wells up some bitter taste to choke them even amid the flowers.
LUCRETIUS

LUCRETIUS

Anand Thakur
Globed from the atoms falling slow or swift I see the suns, I see the systems lift Their forms; and even the systems and the suns Shall go back slowly to the eternal drift.
LUCRETIUS

Fall Forever Myself See Slow System
You may complete as many generations as you please during your life; none the less will that everlasting death await you.
LUCRETIUS

Anand Thakur
Fear is the mother of all gods … Nature does all things spontaneously, by herself, without the meddling of the gods.
LUCRETIUS

Anand Thakur
What is food to one man may be fierce poison to others.
LUCRETIUS

Anand Thakur
Never trust the calm sea when she shows her false alluring smile.
LUCRETIUS

Anand Thakur
So it is more useful to watch a man in times of peril, and in adversity to discern what kind of man he is; for then at last words of truth are drawn from the depths of his heart, and the mask is torn off, reality remains.
LUCRETIUS

Anand Thakur

If God can do anything he can make a stone so heavy that even he can’t lift it. Then there is something God cannot do, he cannot lift the stone. Therefore God does not exist.
