Tao Te Ching

“I always had a book in my hand, sometimes Dante, sometimes Homer. As I read the immortal verses, I felt that man could become immortal and that the world's heterogeneous surfae of houses, people, joys, insults—the incoherent chaos we call life—was capable of uniting into harmony.”

— Nikos Kazantzakis 1883 – 1957 CE via P. A. Bien
from Report to Greco
