    “Zeus is the air, Zeus the earth, Zeus all things and what transcends them all.”
    —Aeschylus (525–456 B.C.)

He is at one moment a positivist and at another a mystic: now haunted by the thought of death ... and now a Dionysian child of nature; now a pessimist and now, with a change of lover or liver or even the weather, an exuberant believer that God’s in his heaven and all’s right with the world.”
    —Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
