When I first met you, I felt a kind of contradiction in you. You're seeking something, but at the same time, you are running away for all you're worth.
-- Haruki Murakami

Mysticism is the cheapest and most moderate of all philosophical ravings. Only credit one of its absolute contradictions, and you will thereby supply all its needs and even allow it to live in the lap of luxury.

It's hilarious. Men want us so badly for our bodies, yet hate us so much for our minds.

Quote
One of the roles of philosophy is to play the fool, or idiot. From its inception, philosophy has been closely tied to idiotism. Every philosopher who has brought forth a new idiom – a new language, a new way of thinking – has necessarily been an idiot. Only the idiot has access to the wholly Other. [...] Socrates knows only that he does not know; he is an idiot. Likewise, Descartes – who casts doubt on everything – is an idiot. Cogito ergo sum is idiotic. It takes an inner contradiction of thinking to make a new beginning possible.
Byung-chul Han, Psychopolitics

I have an innate passion for contradiction—my whole life has been nothing but a series of melancholy and vain contradictions of heart or reason.

Some of you all in the fandom claim Gwyneth Berdara needs some extended, arbitrary amount of time to heal from her trauma yet didn't bat a fucking eye when Rhysand not only got his mate the day after he was free from 49 years of sexual trauma, he went for it when Feyre was ready...mere months later...

Quote
Ideals that seem unattainable to themselves are for that reason not ideals but mathematical phantoms of a merely mechanical mind. Whoever has a sense for the infinite and knows what he wants to do with it sees here the result of eternally separating and uniting powers, conceives of his ideals at least as being chemical, and utters, when he expresses himself decisively, nothing but contradictions.
Friedrich Schlegel, Athenaeum Fragments

I had two longings, one always fighting the other. I wanted to be loved yet, I wanted to always be alone.
