Later Epicurean Writers

If you are a new student of Epicurus, this is the book you want first:

"I will be faithful to Epicurus, according to whom it has been my choice to live." - Philodemus, On Frankness, fragment 45.9-11

Which means in practice:

I will be faithful to Nature, according to whom it has been my choice to live.

Think of me fat and sleek and in good keeping, when you wish to laugh, a hog of Epicurus' herd. Horace - Letter IV to Albius Tibullus
