Maimonides Quotes:

Ocupation: Philosopher

Life: March 30, 1135 - December 12, 1204

Birthday: March 30

Death: December 12

He who thinks he can have flesh and bones without being subject to any external influence, or any accidents of matter, unconsciously wishes to reconcile two opposites, viz., to be at the same time subject and not subject to change. If man were never subject to change there could be no generation; there would be one single being, but no individuals forming a species.
