The Taoist and Zen conception of perfection… the dynamic nature of their philosophy laid more stress upon the process through which perfection was sought than upon perfection itself.  True beauty could be discovered only by one who mentally completed the incomplete.  The virility of life and art lay in its possibilities for growth.

― Kakuzō Okakura
