Clive WoodwardTao is obscured when men understand only one pair of opposites, or concentrate only on a partial aspect of being.

He who grasps the pivot is at the still-point from which all movements and oppositions can be seen in their right relationship... Abandoning all thought of imposing a limit or taking sides, he rests in direct intuition.
