Zitate Prótagorás
„There are two sides to every question.“
As quoted in Lives of Eminent Philosophers, by Diogenes Laërtius, Book IX, Sec. 51
„As touching the gods, I do not know whether they exist or not, nor how they are featured; for there is much to prevent our knowing: the obscurity of the subject and the brevity of human life.“
Opening lines of Concerning the Gods (DK 80 B4).
Variant translation: "As to the Gods, I have no means of knowing either that they exist or that they do not exist, or if they do, what they are like."
„Man is the measure of all things: of things which are, that they are, and of things which are not, that they are not.“
As quoted in Theaetetus by Plato section 152a
