Tao Te Ching

“Zealots there are in crowds; but the masters of moderation are few and far between. Of these few the first and greatest is Chaucer... Unfortunately, he lived at a time when modern English was still in formation.. a thousand treasures of humane, unzealous wisdom have remained for 400 years almost undiscoverably buried int eh depths of Chaucer's Middle English.”

— Aldous Huxley 1894 – 1963 CE
