Tao Te Ching

“by believing passionately in something which still does not exist, we create it. The nonexistent is whatever we have not sufficiently desired, whatever we have not irrigated with our blood to such a degree that it becomes strong enough to stride across the somber threshold of nonexistence.”

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