Beatles e Taoísmo

Without going outside, you may know the whole world.
Without looking through the window, you may see the ways of heaven.
The farther you go, the less you know.

Thus the sage knows without travelling;
He sees without looking;
He works without doing.

(Trecho do capítulo 47 do livro taoísta Tao Te Ching, escrito pelo filósofo chinês Lao Tzu em 600 A.C. Forma o bojo da letra da canção "Inner Light", dos Beatles)
