There is nothing within my nature which contradicts my nature except for the desire to contradict my nature which is after all my nature.

The true enemy cannot be fled from nor faced.

The world is a contradiction; the universe a paradox.

One cannot violate the promptings of one's nature without having that nature recoil upon itself.

Living with contradiction may be nothing new to humans, but acknowledging it, and accepting it are. Even the dictionary has trouble accepting a paradox, calling it 'two things that seem to be contradictory but may possibly be true.' But that's not a real paradox--a real paradox IS contradictory and IS true. So I don't even call them paradoxes anymore, I call them 'contradictory co-existing realities,' both in direct opposition to each other, both true at the same time.

One is fruitful only at the cost of being rich in contradictions.
