A philosopher is the most deceived person in the world because he thinks he knows without knowing
anything at all.
Heraclitus has laughed about Pythagoras, one of the greatest philosophers the world has
ever known. Many times Heraclitus says, "If by philosophizing somebody could have become a knower,

You could not discover the limits of the soul
even if you traveled every road to do so –
such is the depth of its meaning.
