“No pleasure is in itself evil, but the things which produce certain pleasures entail annoyances many times greater than the pleasures themselves.”— Epicurus, Principal Doctrines
“Not what we have But what we enjoy, constitutes our abundance.”— Epicurus (341-270) Greek philosopher (via philosophicalconservatism)

I love how Ancient Greek philosophers were basically all sporty buff wrestling guys. Modern philosophers are unathletic dweebs for the most part… I want to see them wrestle… Bring back buff bicep philosophy!!!

Epicurus was pretty metal; apparently “good memories” is the explanation he gave for how he was able to stay calm and cheerful while dying of kidney stones.
Anyway I never have managed to figure out a way I actually like for drawing beards. That’s kind of a disadvantage in a comic about philosophers.
