“The name of this book is mysterious.”

“The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao. The name that can be named is not the eternal name. The nameless is the beginning of heaven and earth. The named is the mother of ten thousand things. Ever desireless, one can see the mystery. Ever desiring, one can see the manifestations. These two spring from the same source but differ in name; this appears as darkness. Darkness within darkness. The gate to all mystery.”

“The book that I shall make people readis the book of the heart,which holds the keyto the mystery of life”

“Names are a great mystery. I've never known whether the name is molded by the child or the child changed to fit the name. But you can be sure of this- whenever a human has a nickname it is a proof that the name given him was wrong.”

“A great book is a thing of mystery and beauty; it has the power to move you.”

“Love's mysteries in souls do grow,But yet the body is his book.”
