“For the only eminent disciple of Epicurus, Lucretius, hardly any other great poet has had to wait so long for recognition. But in modern times, his merits have been almost universally acknowledged. For example, he and Benjamin Franklin were Shelley's favorite authors.”

— Bertrand Russell 1872 – 1970 CE via Shan Dao
“20th century Voltaire”
