Paradoxes - Discussion


Quotes

"But one must not think ill of the paradox, for the paradox is the passion of thought, and the thinker without the paradox is like the lover without passion: a mediocre fellow. But the ultimate potentiation of every passion is always to will its own downfall, and so it is also the ultimate passion of the understanding to will the collision, although in one way or another the collision must become its downfall. This, then, is the ultimate paradox of thought: to want to discover something that thought itself cannot think."

― Søren Kierkegaard, Philosophical Fragments

“Well, the way of paradoxes is the way of truth. To test reality we must see it on the tight rope. When the verities become acrobats, we can judge them.”

― Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

"The Dao that can be told, is not the eternal Dao...Darkness within darkness, the gateway to all understanding."

― Daodejing
