''To see things in the seed, that is the genuis.''

''There is something exceedingly ridiculous in the composition of Monarchy. It first excludes a man from the means of communication, yet empowers him to act in cases where the highest judgment is required...''

''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 hole which make it useful.
Therefore profit comes from what is there;
Usefulness from what is not there.''
