Welcome To EpicureanFriends.com!

"If anyone thinks that he knows nothing, he cannot be sure that he knows this, when he confesses that he knows nothing at all. I shall avoid disputing with such a trifler, who perverts all things, and like a tumbler with his head prone to the earth, can go no otherwise than backwards." (Lucretius 4:469)

    Hey guys I decided to make an Epicurean blog, I always wanted to do a blog and I may as well do it on something I am really interested in. If you guys could read it and critique I would really appreciate it. Thank you very much!

    GREAT Eoghan! Blogging for oneself is one of the best ways to get things to come together in your own mind, as you try to explain things to others.
