“Opposition brings concord. Out of discord comes the fairest harmony.”

“All things are in flux; the flux is subject to a unifying measure or rational principle. This principle (logos, the hidden harmony behind all change) bound opposites together in a unified tension, which is like that of a lyre, where a stable harmonious sound emerges from the tension of the opposing forces that arise from the bow bound together by the string.”

“What opposes unites, and the finest attunement stems from things bearing in opposite directions, and all things come about by strife.”

“The unlike is joined together, and from differences results the most beautiful harmony.”

“People do not know how what is at variance agrees with itself. It is an attunement of opposite tensions, like that of the bow and the lyre.”

“A drunk man, staggering and mindless, must be led home by his son, so wet is his psyche... Water brings death to the psyche, as earth brings death to water... The psyche lusts to be wet.”

“Realize that war is common and justice is strife, and that all things come into being and pass away through strife.”
