“There is no neutral ground in the universe. Every square inch, every split second is claimed by God, and counterclaimed by Satan.”
― C. S. Lewis

“Say she rail; why, I'll tell her plain
She sings as sweetly as a nightingale.
Say that she frown; I'll say she looks as clear
As morning roses newly wash'd with dew.
Say she be mute and will not speak a word;
Then I'll commend her volubility,
and say she uttereth piercing eloquence.”
― William Shakespeare, The Taming of the Shrew

“Their books are also different. Works of fiction contain a single plot, with all its imaginable permutations. Those of a philosophical nature invariably include both the thesis and the antithesis, the rigorous pro and con of a doctrine. A book which does not contain its counterbook is considered incomplete.”
― Jorge Luis Borges, Everything and Nothing

“If she do bid me pack, I'll give her thanks
As though she bid me stay by her a week.
If she deny to wed, I'll crave the day
When I shall ask the banns, and when be married.”
― William Shakespeare, The Taming of the Shrew

“In the folklore of science, there is the often-told story of the moment of discovery: the quickening of the pulse, the spectral luminosity of ordinary facts, the overheated, standstill second when observations crystallize and fall together into patterns, like pieces of a kaleidoscope. The apple drops from the tree. The man jumps up from a bathtub; the slippery equation balances itself.
But there is another moment of discovery—its antithesis—that is rarely recorded: the discovery of failure. It is a moment that a scientist often encounters alone. A patient’s CT scan shows a relapsed lymphoma. A cell once killed by a drug begins to grow back. A child returns to the NCI with a headache.”
― Siddhartha Mukherjee

“All this waiting.
Waiting for the rain to
stop. Waiting in traffic.
Waiting for the bill.
Waiting at the airport
for an old friend.
Waiting to depart.
Then,
there’s the big waiting:
waiting to grow up. Waiting
for love. Waiting to show your
your parents that when you
have kids you’ll be different.
Waiting to retire. Waiting for
death.
Why do we think waiting
is the antithesis of life
when it is almost
all of it?”
― Kamand Kojouri

“Adulthood is an attempt to become the antithesis of the wounded child within us.”
― Stewart Stafford

“It will be seen how subjectivism and objectivism, spiritualism and materialism, activity and suffering, only lose their antithetical character, and thus their existence, as such antitheses in the social condition; it will be seen how the resolution of the theoretical antitheses is only possible in a practical way, by virtue of the practical energy of men. Their resolution is therefore by no means merely a problem of knowledge, but a real problem of life, which philosophy could not solve precisely because it conceived this problem as merely a theoretical one.”
― Robert C. Tucker, The Marx-Engels Reader

“Don’t ever let your deeds oppose the same thing you seek to promote! That is a big fallacy!”
― Ernest Agyemang Yeboah

“The cloth of a person is never a true measure of his wisdom and understanding”
― Ernest Agyemang Yeboah

“We want to be youthful adventurers and middle-aged mothers, we want intimacy and autonomy, safety and stimulation, reassurance and novelty, cosiness and thrills, but we can't have it all.”
― Ariel Levy, The Rules Do Not Apply

“Dwarf things. Small things. Little things in relation to the norm. Insignificant things. Things with different dimensions. Curiously, the stories I like the most are made up of trivialities. Details. Trifles. These days, people look to what's big. The big picture, big sales figures, success. Bright lights, interviews, breaking news. Whatever's famous. Importance judged by fame. Maybe small things are subversive. Living on a modest scale compared to the norm. Maybe the dwarf is the hero of our time.”
― Brenda Lozano, Loop

“Christianity and Socialism Compared

"Socialism is the antithesis of Christianity. Socialism is filled with elitists and Christianity is the faith of servants.

Socialism is filled with submission to man. Christianity is submission to the God/man - Jesus Christ.

The socialist lives under strong delusion. Christians are taught by the Holy Spirit who deals only in truth.

Socialism will die with time and it's fall will be a blip on the radar of eternity. Those who die advocating socialism will suffer the wrath of a holy God forever. Christianity will stand forever and its adherents will live on in the presence of the absolute ruler of the universe in joy and peace forever."

“Don't be alarmed if this isn't going anywhere. Don't expect theories, reliable facts or conclusions. Don't take any of this too seriously. That's what universities are for, and theses, and academic studies. Personally, I like cafés, bars and living rooms. Not to mention comfortable cushions. So nice and cosy.”
― Brenda Lozano, Loop

“The act of giving a reason is the antithesis of authority. When the voice of authority fails, the voice of reason emerges. Or vice versa.”
― Frederick Schauer

“Greed is the antithesis of peace.”
― Craig D. Lounsbrough

“If any one thing brings me immaculate joy�� it is truly moral, educated, and righteous justice displayed with gleeful hubris directly in the face of its antithesis.”
― Bryan (Nyrhalahotep) Hardbarger
