More quotes by Parmenides

You must learn all things, both the unshaken heart of persuasive truth, and the opinions of mortals in which there is no true warranty.

There is one story left, one road: that it is. And on this road there are very many signs that, being, is uncreated and imperishable, whole, unique, unwavering, and complete.

It is indifferent to me where I am to begin, for there shall I return again.

For it is the same thing that can be thought and that can be.

Never will this prevail, that the things that are not are — bar your thought from this road of inquiry.
