Sayings of Heraclitus 5


They vainly purify themselves by defiling themselves with blood, just as if one who had stepped into the mud were to wash his feet in mud. 

Any man who marked him doing thus, would deem him mad.
 
And they pray to these images, as if one were to talk with a man's house, knowing not what gods or heroes are.
