Quotation from: The Art of War

Written by: Sunzi (6th cent. B.C.)


15. Energy may be likened to the bending of a crossbow;
decision, to the releasing of a trigger.


[None of the commentators seem to grasp the real point of
the simile of energy and the force stored up in the bent cross-
bow until released by the finger on the trigger.]


16. Amid the turmoil and tumult of battle, there may be
seeming disorder and yet no real disorder at all; amid confusion
and chaos, your array may be without head or tail, yet it will be
proof against defeat.
