Appearances Are A Glimpse Of The Unseen.

All Things Were Together, Infinite Both In Number And In Smallness; For The Small Too Was Infinite.

And Since The Portions Of The Great And The Small Are Equal In Number, So Too All Things Would Be In Everything. Nor Is It Possible That They Should Exist Apart, But All Things Have A Portion Of Everything.

The Greeks Are Wrong To Recognize Coming Into Being And Perishing; For Nothing Comes Into Being Nor Perishes, But Is Rather Compounded Or Dissolved From Things That Are. So They Would Be Right To Call Coming Into Being Composition And Perishing Dissolution.

The Purpose Of Life Is The Investigation Of The Sun, The Moon, And The Heavens.

Wrongly Do The Greeks Suppose That Aught Begins Or Ceases To Be; For Nothing Comes Into Being Or Is Destroyed; But All Is An Aggregation Or Secretion Of Preexisting Things; So That All Becoming Might More Correctly Be Called Becoming Mixed, And All Corruption, Becoming Separate.
