More quotes by Metrodorus of Chios
A single ear of corn in a large field is as strange as a single world in infinite space.
Metrodorus of Chios
It is unnatural in a large field to have only one shaft of wheat, and in the infinite Universe only one living world.
Metrodorus of Chios
None of us knows anything, not even whether we know or do not know, nor do we know whether not knowing and knowing exist, nor in general whether there is anything or not.
Metrodorus of Chios
