Heraclitus
The road up and the road down is one and the same.
Nature is wont to hide herself.
— Heraclitus, fr. B123 (Diels–Kranz)
The road up and the road down is one and the same.
Thought and being are the same.
By convention sweet, by convention bitter; in truth atoms and void.
Eternity is a child playing draughts; the kingdom belongs to a child.— Heraclitus, fr. B52 (trad. English)
