“If you want to become whole,
let yourself be partial.
If you want to become straight,
let yourself be crooked.
If you want to become full,
let yourself be empty.
If you want to be reborn,
let yourself die.
If you want to be given everything,
give everything up.”
Author: Tao Te Ching or Dao De Jing. Written around 6th century BC by the sage Laozi (or Lao Tzu, “Old Master”).
