Quote of the Day
Jan. 2nd, 2017 04:30 pm...nothing in the universe
Is born unique and grows unique, alone,
But all belong to a species, very many
Of the same kind.
...
Therefore one must accept that sky
And earth and sun, moon, sea and all else that exists
Are not unique, but in number numberless.
- Lucretius, Trans. Melville, On the Nature of the Universe. Book 2, line 1077.
