“It’s not smart to hold yourself away from the shocks of life, the good ones or the bad. They’re all part of the mix, and paradoxically, shying away from them only makes things harder.”
“No motive is pure. No one is good or bad-but a hearty mix of both. And sometimes life actually gives to you by taking away.”
“The bad part is life continues. The good part is that the pain goes away.”
“It is not good to be so much away from one's own people. It is the sort of thing known to make one strange.”
“The Greeks do not think correctly about coming-to-be and passing-away; for no thing comes to be or passes away, but is mixed together and dissociated from the things that are. And thus they would be correct to call coming-to-be mixing-together and passing-away dissociating”
“Things that appear unlikely, impossible, or paradoxical from one point of view often make perfectly good sense from another.”
