Juliet Stevenson Quotes

It is yin and yang. Light is the left hand of darkness ... how did it go? Light, dark. Fear, courage. Cold, warmth. Female, male. It is yourself ... both and one. A shadow on snow.

There's light and dark in all things, you know?

Almost every wise saying has an opposite one, no less wise, to balance it.

Under heaven all can see beauty as beauty only because there is ugliness. All can know good as good only because there is evil. Therefore having and not having arise together. Difficult and easy complement each other. Long and short contrast each other. High and low rest upon each other. Voice and sound harmonize each other. Front and back follow one another.

Could you understand the meaning of light if there were no darkness to point the contrast? Day and night, life and death, love and hatred, since none of these things can have any being at all apart from the existence of the other, you can no more separate them than you can separate the two sides of a coin.

The rose and thorn, the treasure and dragon, joy and sorrow, all mingle into one.

In Light there is Dark, and in Dark there is Light.

Every side of a coin has another side.

Couples are wholes and not wholes, what agrees disagrees, the concordant is discordant. From all things one and from one all things.
