Anaxagoras

« All quotes from this author
 

The Greeks follow a wrong usage in speaking of coming into being and passing away; for nothing comes into being or passes away, but there is mingling and separation of things that are. So they would be right to call coming into being mixture, and passing away separation.
--
Frag. B 17, quoted in John Burnet's Early Greek Philosophy, (1920), Chapter 6.
