"The surest test if a person be..." - Quote by Lao Tzu

“First and last follow each other.”

“Thus an army without flexibility never wins a battle. A tree that is unbending is easily broken.”

“Being is born of not being.”

“I want to know if I can live with what I know, and only than.”

“To accept civilization as it is practically means accepting decay.”

“I have no complaints about my path and the places it has taken me; enough complaints to fill a circus tent about other things, maybe, but the path I've chosen has always been the right one, and I wouldn't have had it any other way.”

“The sanity of society is a balance of a thousand insanity's.”

“As a man I am not a killer. I’m an artist and a modern person. I’ll choose sanity.”

“You are a slow learner, Winston." "How can I help it? How can I help but see what is in front of my eyes? Two and two are four." "Sometimes, Winston. Sometimes they are five. Sometimes they are three. Sometimes they are all of them at once. You must try harder. It is not easy to become sane.”
