Tao Te Ching

“Only in some pitiful dreamer, some philosopher, poet, or romancer, or when the common practical man becomes a lover, does the hard externality give way, and a gleam of insight into the vast world of inner life beyond us, so different from that of outer seeming, illuminate our mind.”

— William James 1842 – 1910 CE
"Father of American psychology”
from Talks to Teachers on Psychology, 1899
