Rigidity

Confucius Philosopher

"When you have become one with the Great Universal, you will have no partiality, and when you are part of the process of transformation, you will have no rigidity."

Carl Sagan Astronomer, Astrophysicist

"They (i. e., the Pythagoreans) did not advocate the free confrontation of conflicting points of view. Instead, like all orthodox religions, they practised a rigidity that prevented them from correcting their errors."

Laozi Philosopher

"Man at his birth is supple and tender, but in death, he is rigid and hard. Thus, suppleness and tenderness accompany life, but rigidity and hardness accompany death."
