Everything Flux

Quote Author

Heraclitus
Greek - Philosopher
544 BC - 483 BC

Preserve the core, and let the rest flux. In their wonderful bestseller Built to Last, authors James Collins and Jerry Porras make a convincing argument that long-lived companies are able to thrive 50 years or more by retaining a very small heart of unchanging values, and then stimulating progress in everything else. At times "everything" includes changing the business the company operates in, migrating, say, from mining to insurance. Outside the core of values, nothing should be exempt from flux. Nothing.

Kevin Kelly

There is no essence, but there is a flux that is more real than any instance of the flux, such as a milk bottle or a tiger.

Timothy Morton

All is flux, nothing stays still, as Heraclitus said. By the time I wrote this, everything has changed in the universe; everything but the taste of the cakes baked at home!

Mehmet Murat Ildan

In life everything is continually in flux.

Ludwig von Mises

Everything is in a state of flux, including the status quo.

Robert Byrne

Everything is in a state of flux, and this includes the world of Chess

Mikhail Botvinnik

There is no such thing as permanence at all. Everything is constantly changing. Everything is in a flux. Because you cannot face the impermanence of all relationships, you invent sentiments, romance, and dramatic emotions to give them certainty. Therefore you are always in conflict.

U.G. Krishnamurti

Step beyond your role as a perceiver, merge everything into the flux.

Frederick Lenz

Panic is highly contagious, especially in situations when nothing is known and everything is in flux.

Stephen King

So do flux and reflux--the rhythm of change--alternate and persist in everything under the sky.

Thomas Hardy

It's so much healthier to acknowledge we're fluid and constantly in flux than to pretend to live in a universe where everything is fixed.

Iris Smyles

Everything is in flux: everything changes; the body changes, the soul changes. We are capable of extraordinary self-transmutat ion and internal self-transforma tion.

Clive Barker

If we're distracted from the continual flow of perfect mind that we're in, suddenly everything configures, everything solidifies. Suddenly a shape appears out of flux, a world appears, karmas appear, pasts, futures, presents, time structures, ying and yang appear.

Frederick Lenz

Everything is in constant flux, from state to state, from good to bad and back again... only in transmutation, perpetual motion, lies truth.

Asger Jorn

All things are in flux; the flux is subject to a unifying measure or rational principle. This principle (logos, the hidden harmony behind all change) bound opposites together in a unified tension, which is like that of a lyre, where a stable harmonious sound emerges from the tension of the opposing forces that arise from the bow bound together by the string.

Heraclitus

Everything today is "transient." Technology and its ability to empower actors large and small evolve so quickly that we have to get used to living in a world that exists in a more or less constant state of flux.

Ian Bremmer
