بمقدورنا أن نمنع القراءة: لكن في المرسوم الذي يحظر القراءة سيبقى شيءٌ ما مقروءاً، من الحقيقة التي لا نريد لها أبداً أن تُقرأ - Italo Calvino

"Among Chuang-tzu's many skills, he was an expert draftsman. The king asked him to draw a crab. Chuang-tzu replied that he needed five years, a country house, and twelve servants. Five years later the drawing was still not begun. "I need another five years," said Chuang-tzu. The king granted them. At the end of these ten years, Chuang-tzu took up his brush and, in an instant, with a single stroke, he drew a crab, the most perfect crab ever seen. [Calvino retells this Chinese story]"
