William Shakespeare

The strong man holds in a living blend strongly marked opposites. The idealists are not usually realistic, and the realists are not usually idealistic.

But life at it's best is a creative synthesis of opposites in fruitful harmony.
Martin Luther King, Jr.

Alexander Lowen

Aristotle
