True observers of nature, although they may think differently, will still agree that everything that is, everything that is observable as a phenomenon, can only exhibit itself in one of two ways. It is either a primal polarity that is able to unify, or it is a primal unity that is able to divide. The operation of nature consists of splitting the united or uniting the divided; this is the eternal movement of systole and diastole of the heartbeat, the inhalation and exhalation of the world in which we live, act, and exist.
Johann Wolfgang von GoetheEverything in science depends on what one calls an aperรงu, on becoming aware of what is at the bottom of the phenomena. Such becoming aware is infinitely fertile.
Johann Wolfgang von GoetheIt seems to never occur to fools that merit and good fortune are closely united.
