Anthon St. Maarten
“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.”
Anthon St. Maarten, Divine Living: The Essential Guide To Your True Destiny

“The dance between darkness and light will always remain— the stars and the moon will always need the darkness to be seen, the darkness will just not be worth having without the moon and the stars.”
C. JoyBell C.

“Accept your dark side, understanding it will help you to move with the light. Knowing both sides of our souls, helps us all to move forward in life and to understand that, perfection doesn't exist.”
Martin R. Lemieux

Erik Pevernagie
“Life gives us a bunch of choices because everything is a matter of perception. Where some see the light, others see darkness. Where some feel openness and expectation, others feel fear and danger. Where some are influenced by yin, others are dominated by yang. Where some are guided by trust, others are confined into suspicion. ( “Let us say more and speak less”)”
Erik Pevernagie

Dan       Brown
“The Pentacle - The ancients envisioned their world in two halves - masculine and feminine. Their gods and goddesses worked to keep a balance of power. Yin and Yang. When male and female were balanced, there was harmony in the world. When they were unbalanced there was chaos.”
Dan Brown, The da Vinci Code

Merlin Franco
“Darkness is bliss; so is light. Together they make life tick on Earth. Light keeps us going, but it is the darkness that mothers us in her lap and recharges our souls. For without her, dawns will never be beautiful. Never will they be so energetic. The more we fight darkness, the more we tire.”
Merlin Franco, Saint Richard Parker

Zhuangzi
“So it is said, for him who understands Heavenly joy, life is the working of Heaven; death is the transformation of things. In stillness, he and the yin share a single Virtue; in motion, he and the yang share a single flow.”
Zhuangzi, The Complete Works of Chuang Tzu

Ursula K. Le Guin
“On the blank leaf glued to the inner back cover I drew the double curve within the circle, and blacked the yin half of the symbol, then pushed it back to my companion. 'Do you know that sign?'

He looked at it a long time with a strange look, but he said, 'No.'

'It's found on Earth, and on Hain-Davenant, and on Chiffewar. It is yin and yang. Light is the left hand of darkness... how did it go? Light, dark. Fear, courage. Cold, warmth. Female, male. It is yourself, Therem. Both and one. A shadow on snow.' ”
Ursula K. Le Guin, The Left Hand of Darkness

“All in the eye of the beholder - Some of the most destructive forces in the world (Fire & Water), can also have the power of beauty.”
Martin R. Lemieux

Toba Beta
“There's eternal opposition between yin and yang.
No third party at all, but treason occurs sometimes.”
Toba Beta, My Ancestor Was an Ancient Astronaut

Zhuangzi
“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.”
Zhuangzi, The Complete Works of Chuang Tzu

“When we practice sacred sexuality we are working with cosmologically rooted principles, balancing the heavenly yang (male energy) of the universe with the all-knowing, life-giving yin (feminine energy) of the earth within ourselves.”
John Maxwell Taylor, Eros Ascending: The Life-Transforming Power of Sacred Sexuality

Tamuna Tsertsvadze
“The good and the bad never existed in this world as standalone features. They were always bound together.”
Tamuna Tsertsvadze, Galaxy Pirates

John Gardner
“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)”
John Gardner, Grendel

Aletheia Luna
“The Soul is Spirit embodied. The Soul is mystery, enchantment, and poetry incarnate – it is earthy, sensual, ecstatic, and rooted in the here-and-now. The Soul is primarily yin (feminine), while Spirit is primarily yang (masculine).”
Aletheia Luna

Robin S. Baker
“Heal the masculine and feminine energies within you, so you can cultivate healthier relationships with both in your life.”
Robin S. Baker

“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.”
Priest, Guardian: Zhen Hun (Novel) Vol. 3

“Morality is doing the right thing regardless of the consequences. Obedience is following orders regardless of morality. They are not kindred spirits. They are yin and yang, black and white fish looking through the eye of its opposite.”
Clifford Thurlow, Gigolo: Inside the Secret World of the Super Rich

Michael Bassey Johnson
“The sun works the day shift; the moon, the night shift.”
Michael Bassey Johnson, Song of a Nature Lover

“People think that social media reflects the whole story, when in actuality it is only about 1% of the truth. Some people are really happy, and some aren't it is honestly all about the yin and yang of it all.”
Shana Digital

“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 ?”
Marko Leino, La Véritable histoire de Noël

Samantha Verant
“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."
"Maybe because they don't call him names," I say with a laugh, and Garrance joins me.”
Samantha Verant, The Spice Master at Bistro Exotique

Ryan Gelpke
“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.”
Ryan Gelpke, Wir Die Tragischen Wenigen

Robin S. Baker
“I took a lot of time to study more about yin and yang energy. Once you learn how to channel them at different times, it'll blow your mind.”
Robin S. Baker

Jordan B. Peterson
“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.”
Jordan B. Peterson, 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos

Fiona Macleod
“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.”
Fiona Macleod, Where the Forest Murmurs : Nature Essays by Fiona Macleod

“Yes and no is yin and yang in life And you will encounter this every day of your life, No matter who you are, what your status is in life, No matter what your aspirations and dreams are in life,”
Kenan Hudaverdi
