Tao Te Ching

“the mysterious force which uses men—and used animals, plants, and minerals before us—as its carriers and beasts of burden, and which hastens along as though it had a purpose and were following a specific road. You feel surrounded here by the blind forces which create sight and light.”

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