“All the colours look brighter now.
Everything they say seems to sound new.
Slipping into tomorrow too quick,
Yesterday always too good to forget.
Stop the swing of the pendulum! Let us through!”

“My dad used to say, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.”

“There's this saying: in an all-blue world, colour doesn't exist… If something seems strange, you question it; but if the outside world is too distant to use as a comparison then nothing seems strange.”

“Don't let yesterday use up too much of today.”

“What produces the general good is always terrible or seems bizarre when begun too soon … The Revolution must stop itself at the perfection of public happiness and liberty through the laws.”

“Let there be no sadness, no sorrow,
Let there be no road too narrow,

For all of us.”

“As long as we try to project from the relative and conditioned to the absolute and unconditioned, we shall keep the pendulum swinging between dogmatism and skepticism. The only way to stop this increasingly tiresome pendulum swing is to change our conception of what philosophy is good for.

It will be accomplished, if it ever is, by a long, slow process of cultural change – that is to say, of change in common sense, changes in the intuitions available for being pumped up by philosophical arguments.”

“The pendulum swings between Light and Darkness”

“Her singing always cheered him up. Life seemed so much brighter when she stopped.”

“To quote the Tsalagi, you should never allow your yesterday to use up too much of today. The past is gone and tomorrow is at best a maybe. Live for this moment because it may be all you'll ever have.”
