Tao Te Ching

“Balzac was a fairly consistent royalist and Catholic, anything but a reformer or a politician… A congenital bankrupt and an obsessive shopper, he was a genius at finding ways to be extravagant.”

— Daniel J. Boorstin 1914 – 2004 CE
American intellectual Paul Revere
from The Creators: A History of Heroes of the Imagination, 1992
