Tao Te Ching

“Curiosity can bring guts out of hiding but curiosity evaporates. We need guts to go for the long haul. Like an amusing friend you can’t really trust, curiosity turns you on but then leaves you to make it on your own—with whatever courage you can muster”

— Haruki Murakami 1949 CE – via Jay Rubin, Shan Dao
