Tao Te Ching

“to use words; that is to convert an inner surge into immobility. Every word is an adamantine shell which encloses a great explosive force. To discover its meaning you must let it burst inside you like a bomb and in this way liberate the soul which it imprisons.”

— Nikos Kazantzakis 1883 – 1957 CE via P. A. Bien
