“If we never experience the chill of a dark winter, it is very unlikely that we will ever cherish the warmth of a bright summer’s day. Nothing stimulates our appetite for the simple joys of life more than the starvation caused by sadness or desperation. In order to complete our amazing life journey successfully, it is vital that we turn each and every dark tear into a pearl of wisdom, and find the blessing in every curse.”

“A beam or pillar can be used to batter down a city wall, but it is no good for stopping up a little hole - this refers to a difference in function. Thoroughbreds like Qiji and Hualiu could gallop a thousand li in one day, but when it came to catching rats they were no match for the wildcat or the weasel - this refers to a difference in skill. The horned owl catches fleas at night and can spot the tip of a hair, but when daylight comes, no matter how wide it opens its eyes, it cannot see a mound or a hill - this refers to a difference in nature. Now do you say, that you are going to make Right your master and do away with Wrong, or make Order your master and do away with Disorder? If you do, then you have not understood the principle of heaven and earth or the nature of the ten thousand things. This is like saying that you are going to make Heaven your master and do away with Earth, or make Yin your master and do away with Yang. Obviously it is impossible.”

“My enemies define themselves (as the dragon told me) on me. As for myself, I could finish them off in a single night […] yet I hold back. I am hardly blind to the absurdity. Form is function. What will we call the Hrothgar-Wrecker when Hrothgar has been wrecked? (p.79)”

“There’s an ancient saying that humans and ghosts belong on separate paths, but in all my years, I’ve never seen two people so truly desperate to be together despite being separated by yin and yang.”

“Le destin avait subitement décidé que le petit Nicolas porterait sur ses épaules le lourd fardeau du deuil et de la solitude. Même en grandissant et en se fortifiant, il ne pourrait jamais s'en défaire.
Toute sa vie, Nicolas dut porter ce fardeau, ce qui fut aussi la raison majeure pour laquelle il devint le personnage que nous connaissons aujourd'hui dans le monde entier.
Mais tout n'est peut-être pas si tranché dans la vie. Il n'est sans doute pas d'événement complètement heureux ou malheureux. Peut-être le bien et le mal vont-ils de pair, malgré leur différence ? Tout comme un malheur peut engendrer de bonnes choses, un bonheur peut aussi causer bien des déboires.
Peut-être devrions-nous nous abstenir de qualifier les événements de la vie lorsqu'ils se produisent, et attendre d'avoir du recul pour juger de ce qu'ils recèlent le plus au final : du bien ou du mal, ou, qui sait, de l'un autant que de l'autre ?”

“We round the frangipani, coming face-to-face with two peacocks---one male, with magnificent iridescent plumage sparkling in royal blues, greens, and golden browns, not to mention the circular eyespots, his crown a crest of feathers resembling a helmet. The female, although beautiful, has drabber plumage and a short tail.
Garrance beams as the large birds greet her like dogs. "Meet Yin and Yang," she says, and Juju rolls onto his back. "These two are the only ones who tolerate Juju and vice versa."

“Sieht ihr", begann Adam, seine Stimme von Nachdenklichkeit durchdrungen, "Chaos und Ordnung teilen oft eine enge Verbindung. Inmitten des Chaos verbirgt sich oft eine verborgene Ordnung, die unserer Wahrnehmung entgeht. Im grossen Gefüge der Evolution sind Chaos und Ordnung gleichermassen unverzichtbar für Fortschritt. Ordnung bietet die notwendige Stabilität für transformative Veränderungen, während Chaos als Katalysator dient und Anreize für solche Veränderungen schafft. Wären da nicht die Unannehmlichkeiten, die wir erfahren, hätte unser evolutionärer Weg möglicherweise einen abweichenden Verlauf genommen. Ein empfindliches Gleichgewicht beider Elemente ist wesentlich, ähnlich wie das Zusammenspiel von Yin und Yang in der taoistischen Philosophie. Alte Weisheit enthält oft Fragmente der Wahrheit. Die Angst vor Veränderung sollte uns nicht behindern, das ist meine Überzeugung.”

“Order and chaos are the yang and yin of the famous Taoist symbol: two serpents, head to tail. Order is the white, masculine serpent; Chaos, its black, feminine counterpart. The black dot in the white—and the white in the black—indicate the possibility of transformation: just when things seem secure, the unknown can loom, unexpectedly and large. Conversely, just when everything seems lost, new order can emerge from catastrophe and chaos. For the Taoists, meaning is to be found on the border between the ever-entwined pair. To walk that border is to stay on the path of life, the divine Way.”

“Who plays the Song of Songs upon the Hills of Dream? It is said Love is that need-player, for There is no song like his. But today I saw one, on these still garths of shadow and silence, who put a hollow reed to his lips and played a white spell of beauty. Then I knew Love and Sorrow to be one, as in the old myth of Oengus of the White Birds and The Grey Shadows.”
