The DaVinci Code, written by Dan Brown, is a book that I haven’t finished yet. It is about a symbologist named Robert Langdon, who meets a cryptographer named Sophie Neveu at the Louvre museum in Paris when they are investigating a strange murder. The person who was murdered left a code and arranged his body in a particular way that meant something to Langdon and Sophie, But no one else. Them discovering and deciphering the code entangled them in a dispute between the Priory of Son and Opus Dei over a possibility of a child.
“The Pentacle – The ancients envisioned their world in two halves – masculine and feminine. Their gods and goddesses worked to keep a balance of power. Yin and Yang. When male and female were balanced, there was harmony in the world. When they were unbalanced there was chaos.”
I think this quote is special as it brings us back to the old times, even before humans really existed, when it was just the gods, envisioning and creating the world. It makes us think, and it could remind us that balance is important, and why our world was made the way it is, and how it has changed since then.
