Quotes

• “I know that I am mortal by nature and ephemeral, but when I trace at my pleasure the windings to and fro of the heavenly bodies, I no longer touch earth with my feet. I stand in the presence of Zeus himself and take my fill of ambrosia.”
• “We consider it a good principle to explain the phenomena by the simplest hypothesis possible.”
• “πᾶν μὲν τὸ δυσέφικτον παρὰ τοῖς πολλοῖς εὐδιάβλητον ἔχει φύσιν”
• “The length of lifetakes the leading place among inquiries about events following birth.”
• “As material fortune is associated with the properties of the body, so honor belongs to those of the soul.”
• “There are three classes of friendship and enmity, since men are so disposed to one another either by preference or by need or through pleasure and pain.”
