A Quote by Zhang Longxi on circle, cyclic, inside, outside, within, without, detour, and end

What one looks for outside turns out to be present inside, but only to be discovered after a long detour of seeking externally, in all the wrong places...in a process of gradual reversal, the return of what moves forward in the shape of a circle, in which the end meets the initial point of departure.
