‘As soon as propositions emerge, the true and the false emerge. They are logical values. Falsity is the logical Zero; it is the binary digit 0. It is the negativity of non-being expressed logically; but that negativity is evil; hence falsity is logical evil. Truth is the logical One; it is the binary digit 1. It is the positivity of being-itself expressed logically; but being-itself honors the Good; hence truth is logical goodness. Truth is logically better than falsity.’

I love this quote from Carl-Johan Palmqvist; it is a great reminder that things aren't as binary as they are often presented.
