Quote by Henry Miller

The real enemy can always be met and conquered, or won over. Real antagonism is based on love, a love which has not recognized itself.

The real enemy can always be met and conquered, or won over.

Summary

This quote suggests that any true enemy can ultimately be defeated or transformed into an ally. It claims that true animosity arises from a hidden love, a love that has not fully acknowledged itself. In other words, the conflicts and hostility we experience may stem from a deeper connection or desire for connection, which, if recognized and understood, can lead to resolution and reconciliation. The quote highlights the idea that beneath the surface of confrontations, there lies a potential for understanding and unity.

Kindness is the only service that will stand the storm of life and not wash out. It will wear well and be remembered long after the prism of politeness or the complexion of courtesy has faded away.
