Democritus
Sweet exists by convention, bitter by convention, colour by convention; atoms and Void [alone] exist in reality.
Democritus quotes
Disease of the home and of the life comes about in the same way as that of the body.
Democritus
Strength and beauty are the blessings of youth; temperance, however, is the flower of old age.




Democritus quotes
We know nothing accurately in reality, but [only] as it changes according to the bodily condition, and the constitution of those things that flow upon [the body] and impinge upon it.
Democritus
In a shared fish, there are no bones.
