Anaxagoras Quotes 1132359

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. — Anaxagoras

And since the portions of both the large and the small are equal in amount, in this way too all things would be in everything; nor can they be separate, but all things have a portion of everything.

But in all things there are many things, equal in amount, both in the larger and the smaller of the things being separated off. — Anaxagoras
