If the Great Way perishes there will morality and duty. When cleverness and knowledge arise great lies will flourish. When relatives fall out with one another there will be filial duty and love. When states are in confusion there will be faithful servants. – Lao Tzu
Why do you think the old stories tell of men who set out on great journeys to impress the gods? Because trying to impress people just isnt worth the time and effort. – Henry Rollins
