It will be my constant aim to do nothing, and permit nothing to be done, that will arrest or disturb this growing sentiment of unity and cooperation, this revival of esteem and affiliation which now animates so many thousands in both the old antagonistic sections, but I shall cheerfully do everything possible to promote and increase it.
In general, it may be said of it that it takes the place which pity ought to take pity which is its opposite, and the true source of all real justice and charity. Envy is also opposed to pity, but in another sense; envy, that is to say, is produced by a cause directly antagonistic to that which produces the delight in mischief.
Their differences are complementary, not antagonistic, and thought will never be completely fruitful until the one unites with the other." HUXLEY, Macmillan's Mag., May 1870. But it stops short of Berkeley in declaring that matter does not exist: his arguments against its existence would equally tend to prove the non-existence of soul.
He maintained that orthodox Christianity had lost its hold upon Europe, touched upon causes and indicated how the world upheaval was directly due to the failing power of the churches. He proposed to remodel religion upon a system earlier than but not antagonistic to that of Christ.
A further evidence that pain is a product of the release of brain-cell energy is the probability that if one could pierce the skin at many points on a limb in such a manner that antagonistic points only were equally and simultaneously stimulated, then an equilibrium in the governing brain- cells would be established and neither pain nor motion would follow.

They were antagonistic, and, rational as Lady Jocelyn was, and with her passions under control, she was unlikely to side with Mrs. Shorne. Now Rose had fought against herself, and had, as she thought, conquered.
Such a national mood is in danger of being followed by a lapse into an effeminate hedonism, from which England as a whole was saved by the antagonistic development of the essentially masculine if crude puritanism, whose vital spirit had already begun to take possession of a large proportion of the population without as yet evicting paganism.
He was only a week back all he had seen out there was fresh to him and very vivid, but he felt in Schaunard an antagonistic spirit, and he did not care to go deeper into his experiences. Schaunard took down that grim joke, Ledger D, placed it on the table and opened it, but without turning the leaves. "And how is Monsieur le Capitaine?" asked he. "He has been very ill, but he is much better.
He dared not write her a letter, although he had gone so far as to begin one to her, but in disgust at himself had torn it up. The fact that Horace was unhappy pleased him, now that they had become antagonistic. The mystery clinging to Fledra haloed her for Everett beyond the point of interest. "Ann," he said suddenly, "you haven't told me much about those children I mean of their past lives."
