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

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
There can be no centre in infinity.
LUCRETIUS

Epicurus whose genius surpassed all humankind, extinguished the light of others, as the stars are dimmed by the rising sun.
