Both sides now................................

418.  It is dangerous to make man see too clearly his equality with the brutes without showing him his greatness.  It is also dangerous to make him see his greatness too clearly, apart from his vileness.  It is still more dangerous to leave him in ignorance of both.  But it is very advantageous to show him both.  Man must not think that he is on a level either with the brutes or with the angels, nor must he be ignorant of both sides of his nature;  but he must know both.
-Blaise Pascal,   Pensees
