Quotes: Japanese Essays in Idleness

"In everything ... uniformity is undesirable. Leaving something incomplete makes it interesting, and gives one the feeling that there is room for growth. ... Even when building the imperial palace, they always leave one place unfinished." 

–– Japanese Essays in Idleness, 14th Century
