T.S. Eliot

An accurate online text

τοῦ λόγου δὲ ἐόντος ξυνοῦ ζώουσιν οἱ πολλοί
ὡς ἰδίαν ἔχοντες φρόνησιν
I. p. 77. Fr. 2.
Although logos [knowledge or reason] is common,
the many live as if they had a wisdom of their own

ὁδὸς ἄνω κάτω μία καὶ ὡυτή
I. p. 89 Fr. 60.
The way upward and the way downward
is one and the same
