Dialogue

 1 Parme|          world by saying the same thing in entirely different forms,
 2 Parme|        not that of the one, but a thing which becomes the same with
 3 Parme|           relation to every other thing is either the same with
 4 Parme|           over, you mean the same thing; and when you say that the
 5 Parme|            and as that in which a thing is is greater than the thing,
 6 Parme|      thing is is greater than the thing, the inference is that they
 7 Parme|        mean by this to say that a thing, which is not, in a certain
 8 Parme|          Because one and the same thing will exist as a whole at
 9 Parme|            No.~Or will each equal thing, if possessing some small
10 Parme|            be equal to some other thing by virtue of that portion
11 Parme|      involved if you make of each thing a single idea, parting it
12 Parme|     knowledge, if there is such a thing, must be a far more exact
13 Parme|            And if there be such a thing as participation in absolute
14 Parme|   knowledge know us, or any human thing; just as our authority does
15 Parme|       admit that every individual thing has its own determinate
16 Parme|   consequences in relation to the thing itself, and to any other
17 Parme|           as yet be in that other thing while still coming into
18 Parme|          one and the same, when a thing became the same, it would
19 Parme|          you mean?~I mean this:—A thing does not need to become
20 Parme|     become different from another thing which is already different;
21 Parme|           relation to every other thing, is either the same or other;
22 Parme|     Certainly.~But then, again, a thing which is in another place
23 Parme|       names: You give a name to a thing?~Yes.~And you may say the
24 Parme|        must it always be the same thing of which you speak, whether
25 Parme|          other’ a name given to a thing?~Certainly.~Whenever, then,
26 Parme|      other than the others, every thing will be like every thing,
27 Parme|          thing will be like every thing, for every thing is other
28 Parme|       like every thing, for every thing is other than every thing.~
29 Parme|         thing is other than every thing.~True.~Again, the like is
30 Parme|         is to touch, and no third thing can be between them.~True.~
31 Parme|           in no other way can one thing be in another.~True.~And
32 Parme|          to say, that even if one thing were older or younger than
33 Parme|         clear.~Inasmuch then, one thing does not become older or
34 Parme|        have and not have the same thing unless it receives and also
35 Parme|            How can it?~But that a thing which is previously at rest
36 Parme|       cannot be a time in which a thing can be at once neither in
37 Parme|     cannot.~And does this strange thing in which it is at the time
38 Parme|       changing really exist?~What thing?~The moment. For the moment
39 Parme|       natures, which would be one thing, and if they were both they
40 Parme|            And when we say that a thing is not, do we mean that
41 Parme|         Nor is there any existing thing which can be attributed
42 Parme|           be anything, or be this thing, or be related to or the
43 Parme| expression, or name, or any other thing that is, have any concern
44 Parme|           intellect, every single thing appears to be infinite,
