One who wants to be free of rules shall have to learn the regulations.
One who pursuits granted ease, shall have to work hard first.
One who pursuits simplicity, shall have to control complexity first.
Wang Gai 1679

When all else is gone and there's nothing left to lose, then what is left and cannot be completely lost or even thrown away is truly one's self...And what stays secret inside everyone is that somewhere he is a king, somehow she is a queen.

Japanese Zen text:
A painter got an assignment to paint a forest of bamboo. Finally, after three years he comes to bring the painting. The client nods kindly and says: "Indeed, indeed, that's really beautiful, but why did you paint the bamboo red?!". The painter answered: "I had at that moment only red paint, but in what colour did you want it?" . "In black ofcourse !" said the client, "bamboo isn't red is it?". "Is bamboo black then?" asks the painter....
