I went looking for the Tao te Ching quotations; I thought it was a neat add-on to the I Ching prompt, y'know, all that Asian wisdom. *g* If I use songs, they're always something I know. Except for this one, which as I said, sensiblecat sent me. I've never actually heard this song, but the lyrics are spot-on appropriate, so I used 'em. :)

I don't often bother with epigraphs, but sometimes they just work.
