The opposite of a correct statement is a false statement.
But the opposite of profound truth
may be another profound truth.
Niels Bohr
Nobel Prize Winner for Physics
It’s the truth,
even if it didn't happen.
Ken Kesey
One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest (1962)
Oh, that I cou’d by some Chymic Art To Sperm convert my Vitals
and my Heart, That at one Thrust I might my Soul translate, And in
the Womb myself regenerate; There Steep’d in Lust, nine Months I
would remain Then boldly fuck my passage out again.
John Wilmot, Earl of Rochester
“The Wish” (1678)
I think many New Age efforts at spirituality really fail because
they’re so taken by the light, and so eager to hold up
light and warmth in a world that can be cold and dark, that
they don’t honor enough the darkness, the sinking, the suffering,
and the Shadow.
Mathew Fox, an ex-Dominican priest
Natural Grace—Dialogues on Science and Spirituality (1996)
