Could anyone help me translate this into Latin please - "I am no one and everyone, nothing and everything - just as you are."
Many thanks

@George,
Thats a good one Millie. What will you use it for?

I'm sure George is correct, but for a second opinion you could try: Edit [Moderator]: Link removed

But as I said, George is most likely correct.

@Tunga,
Absolutely, Tunga.
I am not a professional Latin scholar.

@Tunga,
Thank you Smile

It's from the book by Suzanne Segal - Collision with the Infinite: A Life Beyond the Personal Self and I am planning to get it tattooed.

Although I don't doubt George's credibility I will get it verified on latindiscussion.com. Thanks again!

@Millie B,
George, you translated something for me which I will also be tattooing. Your quick assistance is permanent, personal and quite meaningful ha! Well done.

Millie, I'm getting: STELLARVM FILIVS "Son of the stars" across my chest which will soon begin my tattoo homage to my love of the history of Astronomy, the writings of Galileo and Copernicus and my connection with everything above us (scientifically speaking of course).

Good luck I hope it comes out how you imagine it. I'm totally pumped for mine.

@Tunga,
That actually sounds kinda cool.

I don't have any tatoos (chicken), but I am thinking of getting one for my
seventieth birthday.

@George,
I have to see this tattoo when you're done. I should have my email for a few years yet, drop me a line. Once I get inked up I'll flick one your way as well.

Keep up the good work. (We kinda hi-jacked this thread huh haha)

@George,
How about this translation - 'Sum nemo et omnes, nihil et omnia - sicut tu es.'

Any idea whether it is a correct alternative please?

One of the latin discussion members has advised that the literal meaning of 'Nemo et unusquisque, nihil et omnia sum - sicut tu' is "I am no one and each one, nothing and everything - just like you".

Any thoughts George?

@Tunga,
Thank you! Smile

I got a 'PROVEHITO IN ALTUM' ('reach for the heights') tattooed on my calf (with a I-Ching symbol of 'determination') - could somewhat be seen as relating to the 'connection of everything above us' as well Wink

Best of luck with the tat! Look forward to seeing it soon Smile

I like that one a bit better because of the balance of omnes and omnia.

I've still got two more years till I turn seventy.
Plenty of time to chicken out!
But I will post it.
I'm planning on a Jerusalem Cross.
