The Greek philosophies teach us that we are a combination of dark and light, good and evil, and murderer and savior, hmm? And until we know this completely about ourselves we cannot love well, and we cannot forgive ourselves.

If you don't want a man unhappy politically, don't give him two sides to a question to worry him give him one. Better yet, give him none.
