(Spoken Tao is not eternal Tao. Spoken name is not eternal name. -- Translated by Jeff Rasmussen.)
(The Tao that can be trodden is not the enduring and unchanging Tao. The name that can be named is not the enduring and unchanging name. -- Translated by James Legge.)
(The Way that can be experienced is not true; The world that can be constructed is not true. -- Translated by Peter A. Merel.)
(The experience of flow is surface; The world of things is drama. -- ``Interpolated'' by Peter A. Merel.)
