I kept building the bridge, you kept burning the planks. You lie, your energy is off, and you know what... eventually you'll fade away.

And soon, I'll forget bringing the planks, and your hand will burn in the very flame.

Duality is nature(al).

There's always two sides of a coin, another path to take, another door to open, another choice to make.

Duality is a beautiful curse.

it is predictable-unpredictable nonetheless, inevitable nature of the universe.

Duality is in acceptance.

It is a boon. of a never ending cycle of birth-rebirth of humans and the universe itself. There's stillness in it and the change in very next second.

Rebelling is just obeying in reverse.

At once he became an enigma. One side or the other of his nature was perfectly comprehensible; but both sides together were bewildering.

~Jack London, The Sea Wolf

[sarkyhuman]

A beetle will chase after an opening of light, while a cockroach will scatter at a crack of it. How are we different from insects? Nobody is purely good or purely evil. Most of us are in-between. There are moths that explore the day and butterflies that play at night. Polarity is an integral part of nature — human or not human.

~Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem

Ce qu'on appelle une raison de vivre est en même temps une excellente raison de mourir.

(Translation: What is called a reason to live is at the same time an excellent reason to die.)

~Albert Camus, The Myth of Sisyphus and Other Essays

[sarkyhuman]

We, all who live, have

A life that is lived

And another life that is thought,

And the only life we have

It's the one that is divided

In right or wrong.

~ Fernando Pessoa

'thorns on beautiful roses can make you bleed'

The reality of a person is often in what you choose to bring out of them or what side they choose to show you. The duality of people is really a fascinating terrible attribute; unpredictable, changeable- leaving no real reality of a person but just-unjust panorama of their thorns and beauty.

People don't want other people to be people.

~Gene Wolfe, Shadow & Claw

[sarkyhuman]

You have a good heart and you think the good thing is to be guilty and kind but it's not always kind to be gentle and soft, there's a genuine violence softness and kindness visit on people. Sometimes self-interested is the most generous thing you can be.

~Tony Kushner, Perestroika (Angels in America

[sarkyhuman]

Nothing resembles selfishness more closely than self-respect.

~George Sand, Indiana

[sarkyhuman]

Selfish— a judgment readily passed by those who have never tested their own power of sacrifice.

~George Eliot

[sarkyhuman]

every bit of me aspires to be anything but cruel but I won't forsake me- I'll be cruel for some as I have to be kind to me first.

[sarkyhuman]

you're the moon, always trying to light up other people's world even when you aren't full so I wish to be your sun, so at lonely chilly nights your smiles are full of light, full of warmth.

[sarkyhuman]

I don't know where to start with you.

You. You're such a beautiful dream that I wish to never wake up. Since when did I get this hope to be more? Believe me, I was doing fine before meeting you, absolutely fine.

However meeting you, what an unexpected gamble of fate that I found you, my moon, my moonshine that I wish to be drunk every day. I adore you so much, you made livin' life great! Your heart makes me want me to be more kinder, more loving and to live more.

[sarkyhuman]

I love livin' life. I didn't know I'd ever appreciate livin' but here I am dreaming of tomorrows. I like this hopeful mirage of the present and then of the next day, I hope it never ends, full of warmth tomorrows, the laughter. I hope I don't need to end it anymore. I love livin' with myself.

[sarkyhuman]

do you also feel fear when life is going almost good? I fear that looming black-hole of bad luck will eventually suck all of the good and again I'll be left in pain.
