Quotes About Negation

SE OS AXIOMAS SÃO NEGADOS, AS PROPOSIÇÕES DEDUZIDAS A PARTIR DOS AXIOMAS NÃO EXISTEM, VISTO QUE NÃO HÁ NADA A PARTIR DO QUE ELAS POSSAM SER DERIVADAS; A VALIDADE DO SISTEMA INTEIRO TORNA-SE SUSPEITO...

And all in all and on the whole: some day I wish to be only a Yes-sayer.

Quiero aprender cada vez mejor a ver lo necesario de las cosas como lo bello; así, seré de los que vuelven bellas las cosas. ¡Amor fati: que ese sea en adelante mi amor!

Y, en definitiva, y en grande: ¡quiero ser, un día, uno que sólo dice sí!

Rather, there is something about my beloved that is like a rose.
~ Marcus J. Borg
