Opposites Quotes

Wisdom is not a matter of study, but a matter of living, and of sure action which rises above opposites Picture Quote #1

We are given two of most of our body parts, either opposites or similarities, but not the tongue; except for my wife’s which is forked Picture Quote #1

There are two sorts of truth: trivialities, where opposites are clearly absurd, and profound truths, recognised by the fact that the opposite is also a profound truth Picture Quote #1

As I became aware that all things have unique spatial and temporal qualities which visually define and relate them, I began to perceive the things I was photographing not as objects but as events. Working to develop my skills of perceiving and symbolizing these event qualities, I discovered the principle of opposites. When, for example, I photographed the smooth, luminous body of a woman behind a dirty cobwebbed window, I found that the qualities of each event were enhanced and the universal forces which they manifested were more powerfully evoked Picture Quote #1

The essence of peace is to merge two opposites. Therefore your notions should not scare you if you see another, who absolutely opposes you, and you presume that there is no chance for peace between you two. On the same token when you see two individuals who are exactly two opposites, never say it would be impossible for them to reconcile. On the contrary, and this is the perfection of peace to make it between two opposites Picture Quote #1

God turns you from one feeling to another and teaches by means of opposites so that you will have two wings to fly, not one Picture Quote #1

Every good girl loved a bad boy. It was a fact of life, a quirk of nature. Opposites attract, and the badder the boy, the more attractive he was to that good girl who couldn’t help but be drawn to him Picture Quote #1

When I met you it was magic... We polar opposites, but attracted like we was magnets Picture Quote #1

My soul is the bridge between spirit and body and, as such, is a uniter of opposites. Without soul at center, I would either transcend into spirit or become mired in matter Picture Quote #1

All beauty is a making one of opposites, and the making one of opposites is what we are going after in ourselves Picture Quote #1

People ask me what my greatest strengths are and I say perspective. The best way to get that is to meet people that are polar opposites; you learn the most from them. There are pieces of you that are inherently yours, but everything else is a collection of the things you’ve seen and the people you’ve met Picture Quote #1

Socialism and federalism are necessarily political opposites, because the former demands that centralized concentration of power which the latter by definition denies Picture Quote #1

I have tried to show as clearly as possible that the very characteristics and weaknesses of temperament with which we were born... can be transformed into their exact opposites and can therefore produce in us the loveliest of all qualities Picture Quote #1

Humor implies a sure conception of the beautiful, the majestic and he true, by whose light it surveys and shape s their opposites. It is a humane influence, softening with mirth the ragged inequities of existence, prompting tolerant views of life, bridging over the space which separates the lofty from the lowly, the great from the humble Picture Quote #1

Taoism means streching your being, becoming both a man and a woman and joining within yourself, to be the heavens themselves, to stretch your awareness beyond the breaking point until all opposites are reconciled within yourself Picture Quote #1

True enough and opposites don’t just attract they freaking catch fire and burn the entire city down Picture Quote #1

The unification of opposites which characterizes the commercial and political style is one of the many ways in which discourse and communication make themselves immune against the expression of protest and refusal Picture Quote #1

Rapping and singing are not two polar opposites. There’s so much middle ground. And I think there’s a lot of people who find that middle ground Picture Quote #1

Sex is life: The act of creation in pleasure, the loss of oneself in another, the coming together of opposites in a temporary union of yin and yang, that creates something other than either. What is life if not this? Picture Quote #1

I am a fan of overdoing something, but not running it into the ground. They are complete opposites with only a fine line separating them Picture Quote #1

The purpose of therapy is not to remove suffering but to move through it to an enlarged consciousness that can sustain the polarity of painful opposites Picture Quote #1

It often occurs that pride and selfishness are muddled with strength and independence. They are neither equal nor similar; in fact, they are polar opposites. A coward may be so cowardly that he masks his weakness with some false personification of power. He is afraid to love and to be loved because love tends to strip bare all emotional barricades. Without love, strength and independence are prone to losing every bit of their worth; they become nothing more than a fearful, intimidated, empty tent lost somewhere in the desert of self Picture Quote #1

If you use your mind to study reality, you won’t understand either your mind or reality. If you study reality without using your mind, you’ll understand both.... The mind and the world are opposites, and vision arises where they meet. When your mind doesn’t stir inside, the world doesn’t arise outside. When the world and the mind are both transparent, this is true vision. And such understanding is true understanding Picture Quote #1

Unless a man or woman has experienced the darkness of the soul he or she can know nothing of that transforming laughter without which no hint of the ultimate reality of the opposites can be faintly intuited Picture Quote #1

Love and hate, despite their polar opposites, are both feelings that are induced by passion. I can handle that. It’s the indifference I don’t know how to process Picture Quote #1

Do not open your mouth to tell me that your mind has convinced you of your right to force my mind. Force and mind are opposites. Morality ends where a gun begins Picture Quote #1

Tantra has to do with the reconciliation of opposites. All the yogas recommend that you avoid certain experiences. In tantra there is no avoidance Picture Quote #1

In this world we see the pairs of opposites. Ultimately there are no oppositions. In the superconscious awareness there is no division Picture Quote #1

If a union is to take place between opposites like spirit and matter, conscious and unconscious, bright and dark, and so on, it will happen in a third thing, which represents not a compromise but something new Picture Quote #1

Anxiety is the fear that one of a pair of opposites might cancel the other. Forever Picture Quote #1
