![C. JoyBell C.](https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/authors/1612358741i/4114218._UY200_CR33,0,200,200_.jpg)
“When I was a little girl, everything in the world fell into either of these two categories: wrong or right. Black or white. Now that I am an adult, I have put childish things aside and now I know that some things fall into wrong and some things fall into right. Some things are categorized as black and some things are categorized as white. But most things in the world aren't either! Most things in the world aren't black, aren't white, aren't wrong, aren't right, but most of everything is just different. And now I know that there's nothing wrong with different, and that we can let things be different, we don't have to try and make them black or white, we can just let them be grey. And when I was a child, I thought that God was the God who only saw black and white. Now that I am no longer a child, I can see, that God is the God who can see the black and the white and the grey, too, and He dances on the grey! Grey is okay.”

“What if — is more complicated than that? What if maybe opposite is true as well? Because, if bad can sometimes come from good actions—? where does it ever say, anywhere, that only bad can come from bad actions? Maybe sometimes — the wrong way is the right way? You can take the wrong path and it still comes out where you want to be? Or, spin it another way, sometimes you can do everything wrong and it still turns out to be right?”

“Ought one to surrender to authority even if one believed that that authority was wrong? If the answer was yes, then I knew that I would always be wrong, because I could never do it. Then how could one live in a world in which one's mind and perceptions meant nothing and authority and tradition meant everything? There were no answers.”

Black on white.
That's where I'm walking, through pages.
These pages.
Sometimes it gets so that I have one foot in the pages and the words, and the other in what they speak of.”

“WHETHER IT'S A CHILD'S TOY OR A NATION'S OIL, IT'S ALL THE SAME, the Red Rider said. YOU FIGHT FOR WHAT YOU WANT. AGGRESSION. IT'S THE SPICE OF LIFE. War was right: people had to fight for what they wanted. Or maybe balance, as Famine has said -- strength matched with temperance.
No, she thought. Not balance, Control. IT'S ALWAYS ABOUT CONTROL, War agreed merrily. [as in the meaning of why wars happen]”

“Loo, life is black and white. You don't know what's good for you, because you don't see the black and white! You don't see where the black lines end and where the white lines begin! You're going to grow up to be no good if you keep on that way. It's impractical. I only have one child, and I won't have her growing up to be impractical. I can't think of a worse thing to be than impractical!”

“Why can’t we close our minds tonight and open our hearts in the morning?
Why can’t we stumble freely into an open space and stabilize ourselves with our vulnerability?
Why can’t we drop our hoodies on our shoulders and worry only about the uniform air that we breathe?
Let’s all take the next swipe with our middle finger and displace the cardinal system from being the warden for our NEWS!
Poem - IN MOTION, from EvolutionR.

“Order and chaos are the yang and yin of the famous Taoist symbol: two serpents, head to tail. Order is the white, masculine serpent; Chaos, its black, feminine counterpart. The black dot in the white—and the white in the black—indicate the possibility of transformation: just when things seem secure, the unknown can loom, unexpectedly and large. Conversely, just when everything seems lost, new order can emerge from catastrophe and chaos. For the Taoists, meaning is to be found on the border between the ever-entwined pair. To walk that border is to stay on the path of life, the divine Way.”

“Сьогодні, коли всі наші системи зразків реакцій поламані, коли в нас немає єдиного розуміння правильних і неправильних виборів, ми користуємося системою чорного та білого. Інші фарби в цю картину ми додамо колись згодом.”

“We don't become white even if we wash ourselves with a kilo of soap. We are not angels who do not know the word sin, but we are also not devils whose work is nothing but misleading. In humans there are always paradoxes, contradictions and inconsistencies, but that doesn't mean our existence has no meaning. Black and white humans cannot be seen solely from their skin color, degree level, gender differences or other dichotomous things based on social stratification in society. In fact, life is not always what it seems. Life is not a story in fiction or superhero stories. We don't pull everything into the corner where we want to stand. Seeing things from a perspective with binary opposition; honesty versus hypocrisy, egoism versus altruism, good versus evil, batman versus joker...”
