...what one looks for outside turns out to be present inside, but only to be discovered after a long detour of seeking externally, in all the wrong places... in a process of gradual reversal, the return of what moves forward in the shape of a circle, in which the end meets the initial point of departure.
-- Zhang Longxi, "Qian Zhongshu on Philosophical and Mystical Paradoxes in the Laozi"
