Tao Te Ching

“I knew full well that a name imprisons the soul, cramps it so that it can fit inside a word, obliges it to take whatever it has of the inexpressible, all the most precious qualities for which no substitute can be found, and abandon them outside this name's boundaries.”

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