The brightest truth appears coloured;
The richest character appears incomplete;

So the square, perfected, has no corner;
Art, perfected, has no meaning;
Sex, perfected, has no climax;
Form, perfected, has no shape.
Taoism

"Scepticism is the chastity of the intellect, and it is shameful to surrender it too soon or to the first corner: there is nobility in preserving the first comer; there is nobility in preserving it coolly and proudly through long youth, until at last, in the ripeness of instinct and descretion, it can be safely exchanged for fidelity and happiness."

"Tomorrow , and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!

That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing."
Shakespeare's MacBeth
