EPICUREAN QUOTES

"An individual cannot be free from the most disturbing fears about the universe as long as he lacks a thoroughly scientific understanding of nature and instead believes in legends, parables and myths. So without a thoroughly scientific understanding of nature, one cannot reach the height of pleasure." 
Epicurus -  Principle Doctrine #12

"It is impossible to live pleasantly without living wisely and honorably and justly, and it is impossible to live wisely and honorably and justly without living pleasantly. Whenever any one of these is lacking (when, for instance, one is not able to live wisely, though he lives honorably and justly) it is impossible for him to live a pleasant life." 
Epicurus _ Principle Doctrine #5

"God is the noblest work of man." Voltaire

"Reason is man’s only means of knowledge, his his only standard of proof." 

Ayn Rand - Atlas Shrugged
