Quotes from HeraclitusMen who wish to know about the world must learn about it in its particular details.Change alone is unchanging.Hide our ignorance as we will, an evening of wine soon reveals it.You cannot step into the same river twice.Much learning does not teach understanding.HeraclitusHeraclitus of Ephesus (Greek: Ἡράκλειτος ὁ Ἐφέσιος, Hērákleitos ho Ephésios; c. 535 – c. 475 BCE) was a pre-Socratic Greek philosopher, a native of the Greek city Ephesus, Ionia, on the coast of Asia Minor. He was of distinguished parentage. Little is known about his early life and education, but he regarded himself as self-taught and a pioneer of wisdom. From the lonely life he led, and still more from the riddling and paradoxical nature of his philosophy and his stress upon the needless unconsciousness of humankind, he was called \"The Obscure\" and the \"Weeping Philosopher\".Heraclitus is famous for his insistence on ever-present change in the universe, as stated in the famous saying, \"No man ever steps in the same river twice\" panta rhei. He believed in the unity of opposites, stating that \"the path up and down are one and the same\", all existing entities being characterized by pairs of contrary properties. His cryptic utterance that \"all entities come to be in accordance with this Logos\" (literally, \"word\", \"reason\", or \"account\") has been the subject of numerous interpretations..(κ05 60)Tracking number provided!!!
