"The moment you put things into a concept, they stop flowing; they become static, dead. A frozen wave is not a wave. A wave is essentially movement, action; when you freeze it, it is not a wave. Concepts are always frozen. Reality flows.
Finally, if we are to believe the mystics (and it doesn't take too much of and effort to understand this, or event believe it, but no one can see it at once), reality is whole but words and concepts fragment reality. That is why it is so difficult to translate form one language to another, because each language cuts reality up differently."
