De Rerum Natura by Lucretius, (c. 99 BC - c. 55 BC)
From Book 1: Character of the Atoms "By now all bodies that once existed would be reduced to ultimate parts alone, nothing returned or built from them again. For each thing is quicker marred than made; whatever the long infinitude of days and all fore-passed time dissolved, That same could never refurnish the world, no matter how much time remained. Yet we see things renewed, in their seasons and after their kind: renewed or new made, by nature's laws and necessities; We see how things endure, great crags of basalt and bars of strong iron, demonstrating the foundations of nature's frame." - Translated version taken from A.C. Grayling's The Good Book (2011)
