Summary

This quote suggests that ideas and thoughts are dualistic in nature, forming a binary relationship. It compares this duality with the Roman god Janus, who symbolizes criticism and genius. Janus' dual faces represent the ability to evaluate and create. However, the quote concludes that only God possesses a triangular nature, implying that divine entities or forces encompass a higher level of complexity that goes beyond the binary and encompasses a trinity of concepts or attributes.
