“Night is the sleep of seven wax moths
Dawn is the singing of five mermaids
Noon is the scratching of three field mice
Dusk is the shadow of a crow”

Xi Chuan
“Many people pretend to be in thought, proving thought to be a beautiful thing.
But the bald man doesn鈥檛 need a comb, the tiger doesn鈥檛 need weapons, the fool doesn鈥檛 need thought. The person with no needs is practically a sage, but the sage also needs to count the rivers across the iron bridge to pass the time. This is the difference between the sage and the fool.”

Xi Chuan
“If I breathe, what will my heart think?
If I vomit, what will my soul think?”
