“I ignored the fact that truth has its own vitality, its own primal essence like blood, and I failed to understand that love is nourished and sustained by truth.”

“The situation was a prime example of the quantum yearning axiom. The Biddle-Lichtman theory of quantum yearning holds that the desirability of a thing is inversely proportional to its availability.”

“He leaned forward over the creek trying to maneuver the head of the retriever and then suddenly lost his footing and stepped off the bank into Catawpa Creek. He stood there in knee-deep water looking distressed and helpless but also strangely indignant. The younger guy looked like an obstetrician who’d dropped the baby.”

“I remember thinking that if I jumped into the river the pain may go away. I raised my arms out to the side of my body and lowered my head. ‘Oh, God,’ I said, looking down at the half-shadowed stream, ‘why would you leave me here?”
― J. William Lewis, The Essence of Nathan Biddle

“I still don’t know whether Newt was serious, but the theory, which Newt called the Third Law of Hedonics (he never revealed the first and second laws), is that for every pleasure there is an equal and opposite pain. Conversely, according to the theory, for every pain there is an equal and opposite pleasure. Thus, pain and pleasure always balance out, so that a person can take heart in travail because he’s building up an account of pleasure due, which means that, at the appropriate time, he will become the beneficiary of a compensating joy.”
― J. William Lewis, The Essence of Nathan Biddle
