Everything has a natural explanation. The moon is not a god but a great rock and the sun a hot rock.
The Sun is a mass of fiery stone, a little larger than Greece.
It is not I who have lost the Athenians, but the Athenians who have lost me.
The purpose of life is the investigation of the Sun, the Moon, and the heavens.
The Greeks are wrong to recognize coming into being and perishing; for nothing comes into being nor perishes, but is rather compounded or dissolved from things that are. So they would be right to call coming into being composition and perishing dissolution.
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.
