“avoid the nonsense of those arrogant philosophers
who do not blush to liken their soul to that of a dog; who say that they have
been formerly themselves women, shrubs, fish. Have they ever been fish? I
do not know; but I do not fear to affirm that in their writings they show less
sense than fish.”
– Basil of Caesarea in Hexaemeron, Homily XIII
