Marcus Aurelius on Change


“Nature takes substance and makes a horse. Like a sculptor with wax. And then melts it down and uses the material for a tree. Then for a person. Then for something else. Each existing only briefly. It does the container no harm to be put together, and none to be taken apart.”

Marcus Aurelius (121-180AD) Meditations, translated by Gregory Hays
