"To see things in the seed, that..." - Quote by Lao Tzu

“The biggest in the world is small in its beginning.”

“The soft and weak can overcome the hard and strong.”

“Hold on to the great image, and the whole world follows, follows unharmed, content and completely at peace.”

“A man should learn to detect and watch that gleam of light which flashes across his mind from within, more than the lustre of the firmament of bards and sages. Yet he dismisses without notice his thought, because it is his. In every work of genius we recognize our own rejected thoughts: they come back to us with a certain alienated majesty.”

“Genius and madness have something in common: both live in a world that is different from that which exists for everyone else.”

“We are as much informed of a writer's genius by what he selects as by what he originates. We read the quotation with his eyes, andfind a new and fervent sense; as a passage from one of the poets, well recited, borrows new interest from the rendering. As the journals say, "the italics are ours.”

“To undo a mistake is always harder than not to create one originally but we seldom have the foresight. Therefore we have no choice but to try to correct our past mistakes.”

“Presents at once? That's good. He is sure to succeed.”

“One of the things that I'm really proud of is that I have really good timing. It's very easy for me to see what's coming up and it's no coincidence that I went headfirst into wine and then headfirst into new media - none at all.”
