Book Meditations

The universal nature out of the universal substance, as if it were wax, now moulds a horse, and when it has broken this up, it uses the material for a tree, then for a man, then for something else; and each of these things subsists for a very short time. But it is no hardship for the vessel to be broken up, just as there was none in its being fastened together.
All things are changing: and thou thyself art in continuous mutation and in a manner in continuous destruction, and the whole universe too.
