| Quote | “The sixty-eighth stanza of the book “A” reads as follows: “The philosopher Epicurus tells us and promises: the one perfect in body, will never be impoverished, if a person is captive of desire, he will never be rich, when he owns a little, he will be after more”. In our opinion, Epicurus had expressed this opinion in this way […] And the last line of the stanza created by David Guramishvili: when he gets a little, he will be after more”, is connected with the saying by Epicurus “For whom the little is not enough, for him nothing is enough”.
