Heraclitus
Dry light is ever the best—i.e., from one who, as disinterested, can take a dispassionate view of a matter.
Introite, nam et hic dii sunt—Enter, for here too are gods.From Aristotle.
No man bathes twice in the same river.
The dry light is ever the best.
The virtuous soul is pure and unmixed light, springing from the body as a flash of lightning darts from the cloud; the soul that is carnal and immersed in sense, like a heavy and dank vapour, can with difficulty be kindled, and caused to raise its eyes heavenward.
