478. L’imagination ne saurait inventer tant de diverses contrariétés qu’il y en a naturellement dans le cœur de chaque personne.

"Everyone is a mass of contradictions. There are no "types" of people,"

I like contradictions. We have never attained the infinite variety and contradictions that exist in nature. Tomorrow I shall contradict myself. That is the one way I have of asserting my liberty, the real liberty one does not find as a member of society.

There is no instinct like that of the heart.

<i>Contradictions.</i> Infinite wisdom and infinite folly of religion.

Indeed there has never been any explanation of the ebb and flow in our veins — of happiness and unhappiness.

Nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders there are unseen and unseeable in the world.

-We are a mass of contradictions. Always trying to be more, yet trying to accept and love ourselves just as we are. Trying to accept the reality of the human experience while knowing that we are also spiritual beings.

We suffer, yet we can rise above our suffering. We experience loss, yet we feel love forever. We take life for granted, yet we know it does not last. We live in a world filled with less and more, with cycles of scarcity and abundance, big and small. If we can recognize these oppositions, we will be happier.

The heart has reasons that reason cannot know.

Nothing can contain the limitless spirit of a boundless heart.

Nothing in the world can one imagine beforehand,not the least thing,everything is made up of so many unique particulars that cannot be forseen.

The heart has its own reasons that reason can't understand.

..think about the contradictions and complexities that beset people.

Nature never repeats herself, and the possibilities of one human soul will never be found in another. No one has ever found two blades of ribbon grass alike, and no one will ever find two human beings alike. Seeing, then, what must be the infinite diversity in human character, we can in a measure appreciate the loss to a nation when any class of people is uneducated and unrepresented in the government.
