To A Wise Man, The Whole Earth

Sweet Exists By Convention, Bitter By Convention, Color By Convention; But In Reality Atoms And The Void Alone Exist

Coition Is A Slight Attack Of Apoplexy. For Man Gushes Forth From Man, And Is Separated By Being Torn Apart With A Kind Of Blow.

By Convention Sweet Is Sweet, By Convention Bitter Is Bitter, By Convention Hot Is Hot, By Convention Cold Is Cold, By Convention Color Is Color. But In Reality There Are Atoms And The Void. That Is, The Objects Of Sense Are Supposed To Be Real And It Is Customary To Regard Them As Such, But In Truth They Are Not. Only The Atoms And The Void Are Real.

To Speak But Little Becomes A Woman; And She Is Best Adorned Who Is In Plain Attire.

We Think There Is Color, We Think There Is Sweet, We Think There Is Bitter, But In Reality There Are Atoms And A Void.
