+ The opposite of love is not hate,
it's indifference.
The opposite of art is not ugliness,
it's indifference.
The opposite of faith is not heresy,
it's indifference.
And the opposite of life is not
death, it's indifference.
+ Whatever we learn to do, we learn
by actually doing it; men come to
be builders, for instance, by
building, and harp players by
playing the harp. In the same way,
by doing just acts we come to be
just; by doing self-controlled acts,
we come to be self-controlled; and
by doing brave acts, we become
brave.
+ Creation is all things and us. It is us
in relationship with all things. All
things, the ones we see and the
ones we do not; the whirling
galaxies and the wild suns, the
black holes and the
microorganisms, the trees and the
stars, the fish and the whales - the
molten lava and the towering snow-
capped mountains, the children we
give birth to and their children, and
theirs, and theirs, and theirs.
