Contrarian quotes offer another view on a subject and in many cases is a more accurate view, in any event the contrarian quotes bring the otherside of the coin to our wisdom words.
The book is mostly about my personal sayings, quotes and future proverbs. they are inspired by the reading of others quotes, many of which are famous. As an Odd duck or someone left of center, i often look for the otherside. Thus come the contrarian quotes. This collection started in 1966 and continued until 1994. The quotes were scattered amongst 9 poceket books that I kept with me for years. They have guided and inspired me many, many times, especially when I needed guidence. here are but a few of the quotes
To see properly one must open the mind before
opening the eyes.
21) Often the miracle of life is seen through death.
22) Sometimes one must lose to win.
23) Often I choose blindness over the pain of
vision; thus I kill the possibility of joy of the
newfound experience.
24) For every exception there is a rule.
25) It is far better to do and not know than it is to
know and not do.
26) As strange as it seems, when you listen you will
be heard.
