LUCRETIUS

Anand Thakur
Now come: that thou mayst able be to know That minds and the light souls of all that live Have mortal birth and death, I will go on Verses to build meet for thy rule of life, Sought after long, discovered with sweet toil.

All life is a struggle in the dark.
LUCRETIUS

Darkness Life One Liner Struggle
Nothing can be created out of nothing.

Why dost thou not retire like a guest sated with the banquet of life, and with calm mind embrace, thou fool, a rest that knows no care?
LUCRETIUS
