Tao Te Ching

“Passion is by no means the fuller life which it seems to be in the dreams of adolescence, but is on the contrary a kind of naked and denuding intensity, verily, a bitter destitution, the impoverishment of a mind being emptied of all diversity, an obsession of the imagination by a single image.”

— Denys de Rougemont 1906 – 1985 CE
Non-conformist leader, influential cultural theorist
