Heraclitus: "They vainly purify themselves with blood when they are defiled with it, which is like someone who has stepped into mud using mud to wash himself. Anyone who observed a person doing this would think him mad. And in their ignorance of the true nature of gods and heroes they pray to these statues, which is like someone chatting to a house."

—from The First Philosophers: The Presocratics and the Sophists, a book by Robin Waterfield
