Lao-Tzu said 'the five colors make a man blind, the five tones make a man deaf.' .[If] you can only see five colors, you're blind, and if you can only hear five tones in music, you're deaf. [If] you force sound into five tones, you force color into five colors, you're blind and deaf. The world of color is infinite, as is the world of sound. And it is only by stopping fixing conceptions on the world of color and the world of sound that you really begin to hear it and see it. - Alan Watts
