Thus did the Magi draw near unto him, and they didst bear strange and wondrous gifts; they bore nothing at all, and yet this nothing was at once all things.
Apocryphal fragment
There is a concept which corrupts and upsets all others. I refer not to Evil, whose limited realm is that of ethics; I refer to the infinite.
Jorge Luis Borges
The penumbra said to the shadow, “First you were walking, then you were standing still. First you were sitting, then you were upright. Why can’t you decide on a single course of action?” The shadow said, “Do I depend on something to make me as I am? Does what I depend on depend on something else? Do I depend on it as a snake does on its skin, or a cicada on its shell? How would I know why I am so or not so?”
Zhuangzi
