Theaetetus by Plato
page 132 of 232 (56%)

THEAETETUS: Certainly.

SOCRATES: Were we not saying that there are agents many and infinite, and
patients many and infinite?

THEAETETUS: Yes.

SOCRATES: And also that different combinations will produce results which
are not the same, but different?

THEAETETUS: Certainly.

SOCRATES: Let us take you and me, or anything as an example:--There is
Socrates in health, and Socrates sick--Are they like or unlike?

THEAETETUS: You mean to compare Socrates in health as a whole, and
Socrates in sickness as a whole?

SOCRATES: Exactly; that is my meaning.

THEAETETUS: I answer, they are unlike.

SOCRATES: And if unlike, they are other?

THEAETETUS: Certainly.

SOCRATES: And would you not say the same of Socrates sleeping and waking,
or in any of the states which we were mentioning?
