Jakob Bohme Quotes

Without contraries is no progression. Attraction and repulsion, reason and energy, love and hate, are necessary to human existence.

I've realised darkness and light are inter-dependent, just as death is an enhancer of life.

The world needed a little Evil, so Good had something to compare itself to, but you couldn't let it think it had the right-of-way on the road and an invitation to dinner.

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.
