Fragments of Parmenides 10


I hold you back from this first way of inquiry, and from this other also, upon which mortals knowing nothing wander two-faced; for helplessness guides the wandering thought in their breasts, so that they are borne along stupefied like men deaf and blind. 

Undiscerning crowds, who hold that it is and is not, the same and not the same, and all things travel in opposite directions!
