Hope is not a strategy. Fear is not an option.” ~ James Cameron , Yin yang quotes balance

infinity. The clashes over zero were the battles that shook the foundations of philosophy,
of science, of mathematics, and of religion. Underneath every revolution lay a
zero – and an infinity.” ~ Charles Seife - “Femininity doesn’t always relate to being a woman and masculinity doesn’t always relate to being a man; it’s a quality of being-ness.

If that makes sense…In nature itself, there’s yin and yang, there’s masculine and feminine.” ~ Hamid Drake

We complement each other in that way.” ~ Taraka Larson
