Lucretius Life Quotations

And life is given to none freehold, but it is leasehold for all.

Life is one long struggle in the dark.

To none is life given in freehold; to all on lease.

And many kinds of creatures must have died, Unable to plant out new sprouts of life. For whatever you see that lives and breathes and thrives Has been, from the very beginning, guarded, saved By it's trickery for its swiftness or brute strength. And many have been entrusted to our care, Commended by their usefulness to us. For instance, strength supports a savage lion; Foxes rely on their cunning; deer their flight.

Our life must once have end; in vain we fly From following Fate; e'en now, e'en now, we die.

All life is a struggle in the dark.
