Opposition

Opposition is true friendship

The burning of rebellious thoughts in the little breast, of internal hatred and opposition, could not long go on without slight whiffs of external smoke, such as mark the course of subterranean fire

Love and friendship exclude each other

A dead thing can go with the stream, but only a living thing can go against it

It belongs to the imperfection of everything human that man can only attain his desire by passing through its opposite

To do just the opposite is also a form of imitation

We never fully grasp the import of any true statement until we have a clear notion of what the opposite untrue statement would be.
