"Between yea and nay, how much difference..." - Quote by Lao Tzu

“A scholar who cherishes the love of comfort is not fit to be deemed a scholar.”

“A brave and passionate man will kill or be killed.A brave and calm man will always preserve life.Of these two which is good and which is harmful?”

“Dualistic thinking is a sickness.”

“And the glory of character is in affronting the horrors of depravity to draw thence new nobilities of power: as Art lives and thrills in new use and combining of contrasts, and mining into the dark evermore for blacker pits of night.”

“I feel that sin and evil are the negative part of you, and I think it's like a battery: you've got to have the negative and the positive in order to be a complete person.”

“Gain or loss, what is worse?”

“We awaken in others the same attitude of mind we hold toward them.”

“Everything is clearer when you're in love.”

“The line between failure and success is so fine that we scarcely know when we pass it: so fine that we are often on the line and do not know it.”
