γραφέων ὁδὸς εὐθεῖα καὶ σκολιὴ μία ἐστί, φησί, καὶ ἡ αὐτή
(The path of writing is crooked and straight)
ἀθάνατοι θνητοί, θνητοὶ ἀθάντατοι, ζῶντες τὸν ἐκείνων θάνατον, τὸν δὲ ἐκείνων βίον τεθνεῶτες
(Mortals are immortals and immortals are mortals, the one living the others' death and dying the others' life.)
τήν τε οἴησιν ἱερὰν νόσον ἔλεγε καὶ τὴν ὅρασιν ψεύδεσθαι
(Thinking is a sacred disease, and sight is deceptive.)
Πάντα ῥεῖ καὶ οὐδὲν μένει.
(Everything changes, and no thing abides.)
Σίβυλλα δὲ μαινομένῳ στόματι καθ' Ἡράκλειτον ἀγέλαστα καὶ ἀκαλλώπιστα καὶ ἀμύριστα φθεγγομένη χιλίων ἐτῶν ἐξικνεῖται τῇ φονῇ διὰ τὸν θεόν
(And the Sibyl, with raving lips uttering things mirthless, unbedizened, and unperfumed, reaches over a thousand years with her voice, thanks to the god in her.)
What are men? Mortal gods.

or people.

as progeny needs
man and woman.
