Tao Te Ching – Lao Tzu

If you want to become whole,

first let yourself become broken.

If you want to become straight,

first let yourself become twisted.

If you want to become full,

first let yourself become empty,

If you want to become new,

first let yourself become old.

Those whose desires are few get them,

those whose desires are great go astray.

–Quote taken from the Tao Te Ching, by Lao Tzu.  I had the privileged of reading a condensed version of this text over the summer.  It was full of wisdom, knowledge, and revelation.  I highly recommend this read!
