Truthful words are not beautiful; beautiful words are not truthful. Good words are not persuasive; persuasive words are not good.
LaoziAlthough most people spend their entire lives following this biological impulse (i.e. the sex drive), it is only a tiny portion of our beings. . . . If we remain obsessed with seeds and eggs, we are married to the fertile reproductive valley of the Mysterious Mother but not to her immeasurable heart and all-knowing mind.
Laozi
