No one can step twice into the same river, nor touch mortal substance twice in the same condition. By the speed of its change, it scatters and gathers again.

Heraclitus

They say you can never step in the same river twice. New water flows in, replacing the old and continually renewing the river. The Senate is the same.

Harry Reid

Heraclitus says you cannot step into the same river twice. We can also say that the same river cannot touch us twice!

Mehmet Murat Ildan

We can none of us step into the same river twice, but the river flows on and the other river we step into is cool and refreshing, too

W. Somerset Maugham

You can never step in the same river twice.

Heraclitus

There are books so alive that you're always afraid that while you weren't reading, the book has gone and changed, has shifted like a river; while you went on living, it went on living too, and like a river moved on and moved away. No one has stepped twice into the same river. But did anyone ever step twice into the same book?

Marina Tsvetaeva

No one has ever stepped twice into the same river. But did anyone ever step twice into the same book?

Marina Tsvetaeva

You cannot step into the same river twice.

Heraclitus

You cannot step twice into the same river.

Heraclitus

Nothing remains the same from one moment to the next, you can't step into the same river twice. Life--evolution--the whole universe of space/time, matter/energy--existence itself--is essentially change.

Ursula K. Le Guin

Everything is change; and you cannot step twice into the same river.

Mary Renault

Everything changes but change itself. Everything flows and nothing remains the same... You cannot step twice into the same river, for other waters and yet others go flowing ever on.

Heraclitus

Heraclitus somewhere says that all things are in process and nothing stays still, and likening existing things to the stream of a river he says that you would not step twice into the same river.

Heraclitus

Faith? Haven't any. I'm not a nihilist or a relativist. I don't believe in anything but change. I'm a Heraclitean - you can't step in the same river twice.

Philip Johnson

Thought must never submit, neither to a dogma, nor to a party, nor to a passion, nor to an interest, nor to a preconceived idea, nor to whatever it may be, save to the facts themselves, because, for thought, submission would mean ceasing to be.

Henri Poincare

No same man could walk through the same river twice, as the man and the river have since changed.

Heraclitus
