More quotes by Heraclitus
Change he called a pathway up and down, and this determines the birth of the world.
You could not step twice into the same river; for other waters are ever flowing on to you.

Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.
To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.
Not for the body, but for the heart; companion and company are needed.
Love seldom haunts the breast where learning lies,
And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
