"In a profound sense every man has two halves to his being; he is not one person so much as two persons trying to act in unison. I believe that in the heart of each human being there is something which I can only describe as a "child of darkness" who is equal and complementary to the more obvious "child of light.""
— Laurens Van Der Post, Afrikaner author, farmer, war hero, born December 13, 1906
