Tao Te Ching

“Bottled Lightning, in truth, is one of our American ideals... a wild-eyed look either of too desparate eagerness and anxiety or of too intense responsiveness and good-will... Intensity, rapidity, vivacity of appearance, are indeed with us something of a nationally accepted ideal”

— William James 1842 – 1910 CE via Bottled Lightning
"Father of American psychology”
