Against that strength,
Distance and length.
Dissonance Quotes : pic 000963430
I have a congenital desire to contradict; my whole life is merely a chain of sad and unsuccessful contradictions to heart and mind. When faced with enthusiasm, I am seized by a midwinter freeze, and I suppose that frequent dealings with sluggish phlegmatics would have made a passionate dreamer.

Truth emerges from the clash of adverse ideas.
Dissonance Quotes : pic 000995226
This is the greatest mystery of the human mind
the inductive leap. Everything falls into place, irrelevancies relate, dissonance becomes harmony, and nonsense wears a crown of meaning. But the clarifying leap springs from the rich soil of confusion, and the leaper is not unfamiliar with pain.
Dissonance Quotes : pic 000072734
Hark, how chimes the passing bell! There's no music to a knell; All the other sounds we hear, Flatter, and but cheat our ear. This doth put us still in mind That our flesh must be resigned, And, a general silence made, The world be muffled in a shade.

Dissonance Quotes : pic 000412641

The union of opposites, in so far as they are really complementary, always results in the most perfect harmony; and the seemingly incongruous is often the most natural.
Dissonance Quotes : pic 000426884
Through pride we are ever deceiving ourselves. But deep down below the surface of the average conscience a still, small voice says to us, something is out of tune.
Dissonance Quotes : pic 000997750
If one is seeking reasons for disloyalty, it is useful to find something one can resent.

Disagreement is a rare achievement, and most of what is called disagreement is simply confusion.
Dissonance Quotes : pic 000687178

contrast! To live in peace, without

Dissonance Quotes : pic 000368091
We would understand much more about life's complexities if we applied ourselves to an assiduous study of its contradictions, instead of wasting time
on identities and coherences, seeing as these have a duty to provide their own explanations.
Dissonance Quotes : pic 000092236
Harmony leads inexorably to discontent, discontent leads to restlessness, and restlessness pollutes and ultimately undermines harmony - driving the once-satisfied organism from the momentary security and pleasure it had enjoyed, yet cannot help but grow savagely tired of.

Reason is the inextinguishable impulse to philosophize with whose destruction reason itself is destroyed.

Dissonance Quotes : pic 000695537
One who will not accept solitude, stillness and quiet recurring moments ... is caught up in the wilderness of addictions; far removed from an original state of being and awareness. This is 'dis-ease.
Dissonance Quotes : pic 000529458
Those who love their own noise are impatient of everything else. They constantly defile the silence of the forests and the mountains and the sea. They bore through silent nature in every direction with their machines, for fear that the calm world might accuse them of their own emptiness.
Dissonance Quotes : pic 001251817
Silence is a time of reflection to bring peace and meaning to your life, and to those around you. This deafening quiescence will mean different things to different people but if they listen carefully, they will understand...

Dissonance Quotes : pic 001095338
This uneasiness comes over me from time to time, and I feel as if I've somehow been pieced together from two different puzzles.
Dissonance Quotes : pic 001834976
Silence is the communing of a conscious soul with itself.
Dissonance Quotes : pic 001166913
I know nothing of this silence except that it lies outside the reach of my intelligence, beyond words - that is why this silence must win, must inevitably defeat me, because it is not a presence at all.
Dissonance Quotes : pic 000561144
Self-assertion may deceive the ignorant for a time; but when the noise dies away, we cut open the drum, and find it was emptiness that made the music.
Dissonance Quotes : pic 000547709
Dismantling the architecture of my discontent
Dissonance Quotes : pic 000525303
When silence confronts us, the question to which there is no answer rings out in the silence. That ultimate "why," that great "why" is like a light that blots out everything, but a blinding light; nothing more can be made out ...

When there's no difference, there's no time, no world, no separativity - and there's no you ... nor is there an I.
Dissonance Quotes : pic 001278527
Reason may be a small force, but it is constant, and works always in one direction, while the forces of unreason destroy one another in futile strife.
Dissonance Quotes : pic 001342240
Silence has a sound
Dissonance Quotes : pic 001358042
The misunderstanding of passion and reason, as if the latter were an independent entity and not rather a system of relations between various passions and desires; and as if every passion did not possess its quantum of reason
Dissonance Quotes : pic 000129718
Negation is the mind's first freedom, yet a negative habit is fruitful only so long as we exert ourselves to overcome it, adapt it to our needs; once acquired it can imprison us.
Dissonance Quotes : pic 000406980
Silence introduced in a society that worships noise is like the Moon exposing the night. Behind darkness is our fear. Within silence our voice dwells. What is required from both is that we be still. We focus. We listen. We see and we hear. The unexpected emerges.

Dissonance Quotes : pic 000014586
A soft word pacifies anger, and the discordant words break the harmony of the cosmic diapason, and generate disorders ...
Dissonance Quotes : pic 000024604
When [a man] thinks that he is reasoning he is really disputing, just because he cannot define and divide, and so know that of which he is speaking; and he will pursue a merely verbal opposition in the spirit of contention and not of fair discussion.

Dissonance Quotes : pic 001100400
This thing that bewilders the intellect utterly quiets the heart:
Dissonance Quotes : pic 000353917
The tantalizing discomfort of perplexity is what inspires otherwise ordinary men and women to extraordinary feats of ingenuity and creativity; nothing quite focuses the mind like dissonant details awaiting harmonious resolution.
Dissonance Quotes : pic 000984243
Reason is an outcome of frailty and resentment. When Will fails to cope with the labour of life, or the life of labour, its fragile remnants are set to construct a slighter world of justifications.
Dissonance Quotes : pic 001784951
What comes into the world to disturb nothing merits neither attention nor patience

That divided and rebel mind, that distrust of a sentiment because our arithmetic has computed the strength and means opposed to our purpose, these [158] have not. Their mind being whole, their eye is as yet unconquered, and when we look in their faces we are disconcerted.
Dissonance Quotes : pic 000006944

Dissonance Quotes : pic 001536260
And now, if we try to assign a value, in and of itself, outside its relations to the dream and with error, to classical unreason, we must understand it not as reason diseased, or as reason lost or alienated, but quite simply as reason dazzled.
Dissonance Quotes : pic 001131648
Difference of opinion is a clash, and to clash is a 'weakness'.
Dissonance Quotes : pic 000460932

Dissonance Quotes : pic 001618112
Discontent has a creative force in it.
Dissonance Quotes : pic 001678897
America has long raised political and cultural cognitive dissonance to an art form. We are capable of living with enormous inequality and injustice while convincing ourselves that we are in fact moving toward what Churchill called the "broad, sun-lit uplands."
Dissonance Quotes : pic 000332518
In these anxious times many of us are less astonished that reason is ever suspended than that it should ever prevail, even during the briefest of intervals.

Dissonance Quotes : pic 001359628
Justice is sweet and musical; but injustice is harsh and discordant.
Dissonance Quotes : pic 001786901

The negative way of thinking based on constant complaints, strains, and objections of discontent steals our energy
Dissonance Quotes : pic 000740513
Sometimes things that appear completely irreconcilable and mutually exclusive serve a shared purpose that could not be achieved except through their contradiction.
Dissonance Quotes : pic 000470372

Dissonance Quotes : pic 000174749
