Summary

This quote suggests a contradiction between two pre-Socratic Greek philosophers' views on reality. One philosopher believed that only things that remain constant are real, while the other philosopher believed that everything is subject to change.

The quote implies that the conflict between these philosophical ideas ultimately creates a paradoxical concept where the notion of reality becomes elusive.
