Tao Te Ching

“Nobody had more class than Melville... [he] took on the whole world, saw it all in a vision, and risked everything in prose that sings. You have a sense from the very beginning that Melville had a vision in his mind of what this book was going to look like, and he trusted himself to follow it through all the way.”

— Ken Kesey 1935 – 2001 CE
