"All things were together, infinite both in number and in smallness; for the small too was infinite." (Anaxagoras, cca. 5th century BC)
"And since the portions of the great and the small are equal in number, so too all things would be in everything. Nor is it possible that they should exist apart, but all things have a portion of everything." (Anaxagoras, cca. 5th century BC)
"Mind is infinite and self-ruled, and is mixed with nothing, but is alone itself by itself." (Anaxagoras, cca. 5th century BC)
"The contents of the cosmos are not separated from each other or cut of by an axe not the hot from the cold nor the cold from the hot." (Anaxagoras, cca. 5th century BC)
"There is no smallest among the small and no largest among the large, But always something still smaller and something still larger." (Anaxagoras, cca. 5th century BC)
"Thought is something limitless and independent, and has been mixed with no thing but is alone by itself. […] What was mingled with it would have prevented it from having power over anything in the way in which it does. […] For it is the finest of all things and the purest." (Anaxagoras, cca. 5th century BC)
