On the idea that balance can unbalance us:

“Something is always born of excess … Great art was born of great terrors, great loneliness, great inhibitions, instabilities, and it always balances them.”
~ Anaïs Nin

We ought not, perhaps, underestimate our wish to lose our balance, even though it’s often easier to get up than to fall over. Indeed, the sign that something does matter to us is that we lose our steadiness.
