Remarkable coherent thoughts, musings and ramblings for something written so long ago. Heraclitus is one of those guys who sees everything in everything else, i.e. old is young, young is old - because its all relative, and so on. Which can get a little repetitive at times, but the depth of those thoughts is not lost nevertheless.
And every once in a while, a gem pops out. Like a person never stepping in the same river twice, or that dogs too bark at things they don't understand, or mixtures tend to separate if they don't stay in motion - these are timeless thoughts. I don't believe that these kind of words will ever stop speaking to humanity. And which is why, as one of the earliest efforts to put those musings to paper, high five to you signore Heraclitus.

"Especially at the present time, when all places are accessible either by
land or by water, we should not accept poets and mythologists as witnesses of things that are unknown, since for the most part they furnish
us with unreliable testimony about disputed things, according to Heraclitus.
As true today, as it was 2,600 years ago. Fragment #14"

"Into the same river you could not step twice, for other
waters are flowing
And ofcourse, the most quoted Heraclitus quote of all time."
