The Light and The Way
“Thirty spokes share the wheel's hub;
It is the center hole that makes it useful.
Shape clay into a vessel;
It is the space within that makes it useful.
Cut doors and windows for a room;
It is the holes which make it useful.
Therefore profit comes from what is there;
Usefulness from what is not there.”
— Lao Tzu Tao Te Ching, chapter 11, translation by Gia-fu Feng and Jane English.
