flux quotes

  • All is flux, nothing is stationary.

    -Heraclitus   fl.500
    c.500  BC  Quoted in  Aristotle De caelo, bk.3, pt.1.18.

  •    Religion issomething which stands beyond, behind, and within the passing flux of immediate things; something which is real, and yet waiting to be realized; something which is a remote possibility, and yet the greatest of present facts; something that gives meaning to all that passes, and yet eludes apprehension; something whose possession is the final good, and yet is beyond all reach; something which is the ultimate ideal, and the hopeless quest.

    - Alfred North Whitehead
      Science and the ModernWorld.
