Dao De Jing
thirty spokes unite in one hub
it is precisely where there is nothing
that we find the usefulness of the wheel
we fire clay and make vessels
it is precisely where there is no substance
that we find the usefulness of clay pots
we chisel out doors and windows
it is precisely in these empty spaces
that we find the usefulness of the room
therefore, we regard having something as
beneficial
but having nothing as useful
Lao Zi
