“... the hydrostatic paradox of controversy. Don't you know what that means? Well, I will tell you. You know that, if you had a bent tube, one arm of which was of the size of a pipe-stem, and the other big enough to hold the ocean, water would stand at the same height in one as in the other. Controversy equalizes fools and wise men in the same way. And the fools know it.”
Oliver Wendell Holmes
“We're never so vulnerable than when we trust someone - but paradoxically, if we cannot trust, neither can we find love or joy”
Walter Anderson
“The way of paradoxes is the way of truth.”
Oscar Wilde
“I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love.”
Mother Teresa
“The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.”
Carl Rogers
“The most exquisite paradox… as soon as you give it all up, you can have it all. As long as you want power, you can't have it. The minute you don't want power, you'll have more than you ever dreamed possible.”
Ram Dass
“Paradoxically though it may seem, it is none the less true that life imitates art far more than art imitates life”
