Additional quotes by Heraclitus

You will not discover the limits of the soul
by traveling, even if you wander over every
conceivable path, so deep is its story.

The road up and the road down is one and the same

The immortals are mortal, the mortals immortal, each living in the other's death and dying in the other's life.
