how paradoxes could sometimes make sense...
"Expect everything, and anything seems nothing.
Expect nothing, and anything seems everything."
-- Samuel Hazo
"Sometimes it proves the highest understanding not to understand."
-- Gracian
“Our life is frittered away by detail...
Simplify, simplify.”
-- Henry David Thoreau
“Imagination does not breed insanity.
Exactly what does breed insanity is reason.”
-- G. K. Chesterton
"In love the paradox occurs that two beings become one and yet remain two."
-- Erich Fromm
“one's not half two. It's two are halves of one:
which halves reintegrating, shall occur
no death and any quantity; but than
all numerable mosts the actual more
this ever truth--beware of heartless them
(given the scalpel, they dissect a kiss;
or, sold the reason, they undream a dream)
all murdering lies by mortals told make two.
Let liars wilt, repaying life they're loaned;
we(by a gift called dying born)must grow
love only rides his year.
All lose, whole find”
-- e.e. cummings
