“Never stay up on the barren heights of cleverness, but come down into the green valleys of silliness.”
—Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
“The best quality tea must have creases like the leathern boot of Tartar horsemen, curl like the dewlap of a mighty bullock, unfold like a mist rising out of a ravine, gleam like a lake touched by a zephyr, and be wet and soft like a fine earth newly swept by rain.”
—Lu Yu (d. 804)
