Again, if 'great' and 'small' are contraries, it will come about that the same subject can admit contrary qualities at one and the same time, and that things will themselves be contrary to themselves. For it happens at times that the same thing is both small and great.
For though substance is capable of admitting contrary qualities, yet no one is at the same time both sick and healthy, nothing is at the same time both white and black. Nor is there anything which is qualified in contrary ways at one and the same time. Moreover, if these were contraries, they would themselves be contrary to themselves.
Since we have no reason, from the inertness of the phenomenal, for inferring the inertness of the essential, can we know whether that essential be inert or not? We can know. Inertness, as being absolute inaction, cannot belong to that which truly is. Being and absolute inaction are contraries. Inertness, therefore, must be a property by which the phenomenal differs from the essential or absolute.
But as habit consists in some perfect and consistent formation of mind or body, of which kind are virtue, knowledge, and their contraries; the fact itself, when the whole circumstances are stated, will show whether this topic affords any ground for suspicion.
Besides this after-reconciliation of the two divine moments, Schelling recognizes another, original unity of the two. In the former the contraries are not yet present; in the latter they are present no longer.
I may say that I have made something of a study of voices, and have discovered that they always go by contraries. For this reason," he laughed gayly, "when you first spoke, I but perhaps I am simply tiring you?" There was a small pause, and then the lady spoke, with apparent reluctance: "I am not tired." Varney smiled into the great darkness. "Well, when I first heard your voice ha, ha!
I dreamed that you were transformed into a large tiger, and came stealthily to bite me." He was startled as he recalled his thought at the moment of her awaking, but had the presence of mind to say, "Let me interpret the dream." "Well." "You know, I suppose, that dreams go by contraries. Suppose a true friend wished to steal a kiss in your unconsciousness."
'I don't suppose you will see very much more of Gudrun, at least. She is a restless bird, she'll be gone in a week or two, said Birkin. 'Where will she go? 'London, Paris, Rome heaven knows. I always expect her to sheer off to Damascus or San Francisco; she's a bird of paradise. God knows what she's got to do with Beldover. It goes by contraries, like dreams. Gerald pondered for a few moments.
Red, yellow, and such colours, though qualities, have no contraries. If one of two contraries is a quality, the other will also be a quality.
He may, indeed, have learned that the dream is not to be relied on for telling the truth; the Zulu, for example, has even reached the perverse triumph of critical logic achieved by our own Aryan ancestors in the saying that "dreams go by contraries." But the Zulu has not learned, nor had the primeval Aryan learned, to disregard the utterances of the dream as being purely subjective phenomena.
