"Let this be said, then; and also that, as it seems, whether one is or is not, both itself and the others, both to themselves and to each other, all n every way both are and are not and appear and do not appear. Very true." Plato

"This struggle [between the infinite and the finite] is a conflict defined not by the indifference of the two sides in their distinction, but by their being bound together in one unity. I am no one of the fighters locked in battle, but both, and I am the struggle itself. I am fire and water ..." Hegel

"In its mystified form, the dialectic became the fashion ... because it seemed to transfigure and glorify what exists. In its rational form it is a scandal and abomination to the bourgeoisie and their doctrinaire spokesmen, because it includes in its understanding of what exists a simultaneous recognition of its negative, its inevitable destruction; because it regards every historically developed form as being in a fluid state; in motion, and therefore grasps its transient aspect as well, and because it does not let iself be impressed by anything, being in its very essence critical and revolutionary." Marx
