The purpose of life is the investigation of the Sun, the Moon, and the heavens.

Everything has a natural explanation. The moon is not a god but a great rock and the sun a hot rock.

All things were together, infinite both in number and in smallness; for the small too was infinite.

And since the portions of the great and the small are equal in number, so too all things would be in everything. Nor is it possible that they should exist apart, but all things have a portion of everything.

Neither is there a smallest part of what is small, but there is always a smaller (for it is impossible that what is should cease to be). Likewise there is always something larger than what is large.

Men would live exceedingly quiet if these two words, mine and thine, were taken away.

The descent to Hades is the same from every place.
