Any color is more distinctly seen when opposed to its contrary: thus, black on white, blear near yellow, green near red, and so on Picture Quote #1

True love is not a strong, fiery, impetuous passion. It is, on the contrary, an element calm and deep. It looks beyond mere externals, and is attracted by qualities alone. It is wise and discriminating, and its devotion is real and abiding Picture Quote #1

Hence we did not foster competition in our school, on the contrary Picture Quote #1

Its smallness is not petty; on the contrary, it is profound Picture Quote #1

Fact explains nothing. On the contrary, it is fact that requires explanation Picture Quote #1

Newton was a genius, but not because of the superior computational power of his brain. Newton’s genius was, on the contrary, his ability to simplify, idealize, and streamline the world so that it became, in some measure, tractable to the brains of perfectly ordinary men Picture Quote #1

Moreover, metaphor is typically viewed as characteristic of language alone, a matter of words rather than thought or action. For this reason, most people think they can get along perfectly well without metaphor. We have found, on the contrary, that metaphor is pervasive in everyday life, not just in language but in thought and action. Our ordinary conceptual system, in terms of which we both think and act, is fundamentally metaphorical in nature Picture Quote #1

One does not hunt in order to kill; on the contrary, one kills in order to have hunted...If one were to present the sportsman with the death of the animal as a gift he would refuse it. What he is after is having to win it, to conquer the surly brute through his own effort and skill with all the extras that this carries with it: the immersion in the countryside, the healthfulness of the exercise, the distraction from his job Picture Quote #1

There is a strange idea aboard, held by all monetary cranks, that credit is something a banker gives to a man. Credit, on the contrary, is something a man already has. He has it, perhaps, because he already has marketable assets of a greater cash value than the loan for which he is asking. Or he has it because his character and past record have earned it. He brings it into the bank with him. That is why the banker makes him the loan Picture Quote #1

Which doesn’t mean, of course, that I’d stopped loving her, that I’d forgotten her, or that her image had paled; on the contrary; in the form of a quiet nostalgia she remained constantly within me; I longed for her as one longs for something definitively lost Picture Quote #1

I have this demon who wants me to run away screaming if I am going to be flawed, fallible. It wants me to think I’m so good I must be perfect. Or nothing. I am, on the contrary, something: a being who gets tired, has shyness to fight, has more trouble than most facing people easily Picture Quote #1

The important thing for me, then, is not the work, but my life. Life is not the means for the achievement of an aesthetic ideal of perfection; on the contrary, the work is an ethical symbol of life Picture Quote #1

We did not lack modesty - on the contrary - but something urgently drove us to defy modesty together as immodestly as possible Picture Quote #1

But the nature of the universe is such that the ends never justify the means. On the contrary, the means always determine the end Picture Quote #1

In the colonial countries, on the contrary, the policeman and the soldier, by their immediate presence and their frequent and direct action maintain contact with the native and advise him by means of rifle butts and napalm not to budge. It is obvious here that the agents of government speak the language of pure force Picture Quote #1

The former oppressors do not feel liberated. On the contrary, they genuinely consider themselves to be oppressed Picture Quote #1
