How many evils has religion caused! [Lat., Tantum religio potuit suadere malorum!]

Lucretius

The sum of all sums is eternity.
LUCRETIUS

Anand Thakur

LUCRETIUS

Creation Law Life Necessary Rule Strong Time
The wailing of the newborn infant is mingled with the dirge for the dead.
LUCRETIUS

Anand Thakur
Truths kindle light for truths.
LUCRETIUS

Light One Liner Truth
No single thing abides; but all things flow. Fragment to fragment clings – the things thus grow Until we know them and name them. By degrees They melt, and are no more the things we know.
LUCRETIUS

Cling Degree Flow Fragment
Thus it comes That earth, without her seasons of fixed rains, Could bear no produce such as makes us glad, And whatsoever lives, if shut from food, Prolongs its kind and guards its life no more.

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

Out beyond our world there are, elsewhere, other assemblages of matter making other worlds. Ours is not the only one in air’s embrace.

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

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

Anand Thakur
Fear is the mother of all gods.

Life is one long struggle in the dark.
