Jesus lived a life that was full of joy and contradictions and fights, you know? If they were to paint a picture of Jesus without contradictions, the gospels would be fake, but the contradictions are a sign of authenticity.

Paulo Coelho

I'm definitely interested in exploring human contradictions. Contradictions are what make us human - it's what defines us as human beings. Contradictions are what make characters interesting, and I've been lucky to be presented with characters who have a lot of contradictions.

Edgar Ramirez

Contradictions have always existed in the soul of [individuals]. But it is only when we prefer analysis to silence that they become a constant and insoluble problem. We are not meant to resolve all contradictions but to live with them and rise above them and see them in the light of exterior and objective values which make them trivial by comparison.

Thomas Merton

I think you have to live inside your contradictions and find a way to accept that that's the human condition - to be forced to live in contradiction.

Alison Hawthorne Deming

It is not that I love contradictions: life is contradictory. Existence itself is possible only through contradictions.

Rajneesh

I think many people have contradictions to them and I love characters that deal with those contradictions.

Giancarlo Esposito

I think people have to choose between living with contradictions or painting themselves into a corner. I have a lot of contradictions.

Michelle Shocked

There is a lot of contradictions of mermaids as a symbol. I'm always interested in contradictions.

Lydia Millet

The equivocations, the confusions, the contradictions. There's no way we can live through or comprehend something so big that happened so long ago. We've lost true history. But if we are willing to tolerate the contradictions, and if we suffer through events rather than ticking them off, we may at least get closer to understanding what happened than if we grip the handrail of a carefully polished and reassuringly heroic narrative.

Nicholson Baker

I write to keep from going mad from the contradictions I find among mankind - and to work some of those contradictions out for myself.

Michel de Montaigne

Only by learning to live in harmony with your contradictions can you keep it all afloat.

Audre Lorde

I try to take people one at a time, with all the contradictions and compromises that most of us live with.

Garry Trudeau

We must learn to live with contradictions, because they lead to deeper and more effective understanding.

Edward Teller

Americans, unhappily, have the most remarkable ability to alchemize all bitter truths into an innocuous but piquant confection and to transform their moral contradictions, or public discussion of such contradictions, into a proud decoration, such as are given for heroism on the field of battle.

James Baldwin

I like contradictions. We have never attained the infinite variety and contradictions that exist in nature. Tomorrow I shall contradict myself. That is the one way I have of asserting my liberty, the real liberty one does not find as a member of society.

Man Ray

America interests me above all because it is so filled with contradictions, interesting contradictions, which change constantly. Even if you've decided that you don't want to deal with that subject again, before you know it, the desire comes back to do it yet again.

Sergio Leone
