"Every explicit duality is an implicit unity...." - Quote by Alan Watts

“Black implies white self implies other”

“There is no formula for generating the authentic warmth of love. It cannot be copied. You cannot talk yourself into it or rouse it by straining at the emotions or by dedicating yourself solemnly to the service of mankind. Everyone has love, but it can only come out when he is convinced of the impossibility and the frustration of trying to love himself. This conviction will not come through condemnations, through hating oneself, through calling self love bad names in the universe. It comes only in the awareness that one has no self to love.”

“The morning glory which blooms for an hour differs not at heart from a giant pine that lives for a thousand years.”

“Isn’t it wonderful the way the world holds both the deeply serious, and the unexpectedly mirthful?”

“Light and shadow are opposite sides of the same coin. We can illuminate our paths or darken our way. It is a matter of choice.”

“Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of awareness of darkness... as the contrast between what we have and how it could be worse is vital to appreciate anything, including our life, and so be happy and grateful”

“There is a property in the horizon which no man has, but he whose eyes can integrate all the parts,--that is, the poet.”

“It is time to leave behind the divisive battles of the past. It is time to move forward as one nation.”

“We are not a nation that says 'don't ask, don't tell.' We are a nation that says 'out of many, we are one.'”
