Now Where There Are No Parts, There Neither Extension, Nor Shape, Nor Divisibility Is Possible. And These Monads Are The True Atoms Of Nature And, In A Word, The Elements Of Things.

There Is A World Of Created Beings - Living Things, Animals, Entelechies, And Souls - In The Least Part Of Matter.... Thus There Is Nothing Waste, Nothing Sterile, Nothing Dead In The Universe; No Chaos, No Confusions, Save In Appearance.

We May Say, That Not Only The Soul (the Mirror Of An Indestructible Universe) Is Indestructible, But Also The Animal Itself Is, Although Its Mechanism Is Frequently Destroyed In Parts.

We Should Like Nature To Go No Further; We Should Like It To Be Finite, Like Our Mind; But This Is To Ignore The Greatness And Majesty Of The Author Of Things.

I Do Not Believe That A World Without Evil, Preferable In Order To Ours, Is Possible; Otherwise It Would Have Been Preferred. It Is Necessary To Believe That The Mixture Of Evil Has Produced The Greatest Possible Good: Otherwise The Evil Would Not Have Been Permitted. The Combination Of All The Tendencies To The Good Has Produced The Best; But As There Are Goods That Are Incompatible Together, This Combination And This Result Can Introduce The Destruction Of Some Good, And As A Result Some Evil.
