Apollonius of Tyana ()

„Everything is worn and withered away by Time, whereas Time itself never ages but remains immortal because of Memory.“
(přepis z internetu: viz C:\a-archiv\aut-svět\Apollonios of Tyana\ )

Isaac Asimov (1972)

„… To, co jsem si o něm zapamatoval, docela sedělo.“
„Copak ?“
„Zapamatoval jsem si jeho jistou zajímavou iracionálnost a pokusil jsem se ji dokázat. Dost tvrdě mi vzdoroval. Působil rozumně; tak rozumně, že mi to začalo připadat podezřelé. Někteří blázni si vytvoří druh přitažlivé racionálnosti jako obranný mechanismus.“
„Panebože,“ přerušil ho Montez uštvaně. „Skoro vám nerozumím. …“
(6876, Ani sami bohové, př. Zdeněk Lyčka, Praha 1992, str. 185.)

Apollonius of Tyana ()

„In no other manner, I believe, can one exhibit a fitting respect for the Divine being, beyond any other men make sure of being singled out as an object of his favor and good-will, than by refusing to offer to God – whom we termed First, who is One and separate from all, as subordinate to Whom we must recognize all the rest – any victim at all; to Him we must not kindle fire or make promise unto Him of any sensible object whatsoever. For He needs nothing even from beings higher than ourselves. Nor is there any plant or animal which earth sends up or nourishes, to which some pollution is not incident. We should make use in relation to Him solely of the higher speech, I mean of that which issues not by the lips; and from the noblest faculty we possess, and that faculty is intelligence, which needs no organ. On these principles then we ought not on any account to sacrifice to the mighty and supreme God.“
