I am what libraries and librarians have made me, with little assistance from a professor of Greek and poets

The phases of fire are craving and satiety.

Immortal mortals, mortal immortals, one living the others death and dying the others life.

When men dream, each has his own world. When they are awake, they have a common world.

The world, an entity out of everything, was created by none of the gods or men, but was, is and will be eternally living fire, regularly becoming ignited and reg- ularly becoming extinguished.

Those who are awake all live in the same world. Those who are asleep live in their own worlds.

One must know that war is common, justice is strife, and everything happens according to strife and necessity.
